Accrington beat Oldham to complete Carabao Cup first-round draw
Mooney got the second seven minutes later when Charlie Brown's free-kick was headed back across goal by Farrend Rawson and the striker tapped the ball over the line.
Oldham pressed to get back in the tie with Luke Hannant shooting over in a good position in the 33rd minute.
However Stanley struck again a minute later when the ball was cleared off the line and it came out to Josh Woods who rifled home from 20 yards.
Oldham pressed after the break and got one back shortly after the hour mark when former Stanley defender Reagan Ogle's long-range strike took a deflection to find the net.
But Stanley held on in this season's additional round, added due to the number of Premier League teams involved in European competition.

Chelsea striker joins Sunderland on season-long loan deal with special clause
Chelsea have announced that Marc Guiu has joined Sunderland on a season-long loan deal for the 2025-26 Premier League season. A special clause has been inserted, with Sunderland being forced to pay Chelsea a 'financial penalty' if Guiu doesn't hit a certain appearance threshold, according to reports. The move is likely to catch the attention of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players, given that the striker is available to buy for just £4.5m in the game. Sunderland were promoted to the top-flight last season after winning the Championship play-off final and host West Ham in their first match of the 2025-26 season, with the Black Cats then facing Burnley and Brentford. Guiu made 16 appearances for Chelsea last term after he was signed from Barcelona and netted six goals, becoming their top scorer in the Conference League. In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – click here and sign up before Friday to make sure you don't miss the first edition. The 19-year-old featured twice for Chelsea at the Club World Cup this summer as the Blues went on to land the trophy. 'I'm feeling great and really looking forward to the season ahead,' Guiu told the Sunderland website. 'I see myself as a powerful striker, who can make a difference on and off the ball, and I pride myself on being a natural goalscorer. 'This year is a huge opportunity for me to help take this team where it truly deserves to be, and I can't wait to get started.' Sunderland's sporting director Kristjaan Speakman added: 'In a loan acquisition, we not only have to convince the player but also the parent club, and we thank Chelsea for placing their trust in us. 'Most importantly, Marc wanted to come to Sunderland and be a part of our club. 'The competition for his signature was significant, and he had many high-quality options this summer, so we are delighted he's joined Sunderland. More Trending 'Marc's a progressive striker who has key attributes that align with the role in our team. 'In addition to providing a threat in the final third, we believe there are many other ways he can impact games, and we look forward to helping him do that throughout the 2025-26 season.' Chelsea, meanwhile, said in a statement: 'We look forward to supporting and monitoring Marc's development throughout his loan at the Stadium of Light.' Guiu came through Barcelona's academy and the teenager has played for Spain at U17 and U19 level.

Mikel Arteta makes Viktor Gyokeres admission after noticing reaction to Arsenal team-mates
Viktor Gyokeres was subbed after an hour but Mikel Arteta has no doubts he'll be in a position to hit the ground running this season, starting against Manchester United Mikel Arteta insists Viktor Gyokeres will be "100 per cent" mentally ready to kickstart Arsenal's Premier League campaign with a bang against Manchester United. The Swede huffed and puffed on his first Emirates outing on Wednesday night as the Gunners were beaten 3-2 at home by Villarreal in their penultimate pre-season fixture. Gyokeres was subbed after an hour but Arteta has no doubts he'll be in a position to hit the ground running this season, starting at Old Trafford. Arteta said of his marquee £63.7million summer capture: "I think mentally and understanding what he needs to do, he will be 100 per cent or more because he's so willing. He's so confident as well that he can deliver for us straight away, I have no doubt he'll be in a really good place." Gyokeres has endured a gruelling, whirlwind summer, but Arteta is adamant he noticed immediate chemistry with his new Arsenal team-mates on the pitch. When asked how long it may take to click for the 27-year-old striker, the Spaniard added: "I hope just days, every day in training I think he's getting a really good feeling. "I think he's built connections as well outside of the pitch, which I think is really important with players that are going to help him to be in the position that he needs to get in. "He hasn't trained really with the team for two months, so he's done five or six sessions now before today. I think he will take another step in the right direction on Saturday and he will be in a better condition." Teenage sensation Max Dowman dazzled from the bench but Arteta revealed the 15-year-old starlet is now heading on holiday for a well-earned break. The Arsenal boss was unable to provide any assurances that Dowman will be making his top-flight debut imminently ahead of the new season. He said of the nimble attacker: "Let's see how it goes. Let's go into Saturday, into his break as well. He needs a little break because he hasn't had any holidays really. So, in the next few days, he's going to have a break, which I think he needs. Then the following week, he'll be ready again to go." Arsenal play Athletic Club on Saturday in their final pre-season fixture before they gear up for the trip to Manchester United. Arteta has no doubt his side are the finished article - they now just have to prove it after three second-place finishes. He continued: "We know we need to make the next step and we're going to be better. The same as any other team, when you look at the competition, the pieces on the puzzle that they're adding, some of the ones are big ones as well. So, we're all trying to be at our best and ready to compete to win the Premier League." Kai Havertz (muscle issue), Riccardo Calafiori and Leandro Trossard could return to face Athletic Club this weekend.

Alan Shearer gives brutally honest verdict on Man Utd's Benjamin Sesko transfer
Newcastle have been looking to land Benjamin Sesko from Leipzig but look to have lost out to Manchester United in what is their latest transfer blow this summer Alan Shearer concedes it is "disappointing again from Newcastle" if they do lose out on Benjamin Sesko to Manchester United - given the hugely superior season they had in comparison to their rivals. The Magpies enjoyed a historic year as Eddie Howe led them to their first trophy in more than half a century and also secured a return to the Champions League. Those in Manchester meanwhile endured their worst ever Premier League season, finishing 15th. Newcastle also enjoyed a dominant double over the Red Devils - securing an aggregate win of 6-1 across the two games - yet their most ambitious summer target looks to have expressed a preference to join United. Sesko has continued to blossom at RB Leipzig and is viewed among the best young strikers in Europe. Newcastle acted first in an effort to land the Slovenian, who they see as the ideal replacement for Alexander Isak, but the Manchester outfit have now swooped in and look to have won the race. Shearer is frustrated that another marquee target looks to have passed Newcastle by as they fail to build on one of the club's great seasons. He told Betfair: "It sounds as if Benjamin Sesko had two clubs to choose from in Newcastle and Man United. One that won a trophy last year and is now playing Champions League football this season - and one that didn't win anything, finished 15th and had a dreadful season. "I understand that Man United are a huge football club, not so much a huge football team at this moment in time. I get it. I understand it. It looks as if, by all accounts, he prefers a move to Man United. It's disappointing again from Newcastle, another target it looks like they're going to miss out on and I said it about a week ago, it looks as if it's been a disastrous window for Newcastle." Howe has continued to miss out on key targets which means Newcastle have struggled to strengthen their squad ahead of their second crack at the Champions League. Antony Elanga, signed from Nottingham Forest for £55million, is their only new recruit. They've seen the likes of Joao Pedro, Bryan Mbeumo and James Trafford all head for other clubs despite Newcastle's interest being well documented. The biggest blow could yet come in the form of Isak's exit with the Swede informing the club he wants to leave as Liverpool circle.
