Yeovil Town 2 - 4 Inverness CT: Greg Tansey tames Yeovil

SUMMER signing Greg Tansey grabbed a fine double in Caley Thistle's 4-2 victory in Yeovil.

It was a mostly impressive work-out for Terry Butcher's side tainted only by an injury scare for young defender Josh Meekings.

Yeovil took an eighth minute lead through an easy Ed Upson finish from Andrew Williams' cut-back. The Highlanders improved and were deservedly level after 16 minutes. Jonny Hayes' cross was nodded down by Richie Foran at the back post for new signing Tansey to glance home close-in.

The Scots were in front after 64 minutes when Kevin Maher downed Andrew Shinnie in the box. Tansey stepped up to send the keeper the wrong way and slot his second of the night.

Shinnie stretched the lead in 69 minutes with a stunning 25 yard free-kick. Dominic Blizzard stabbed in Yeovil's second to cut the margin after 71 minutes, but Richie Foran added the fourth with nine minutes left.
