Hartlepool ended 10-man Carlisle's National League winning streak and boosted their own play-off hopes with a home victory.

Tyrese Sinclair's driving run from halfway and fabulous finish put Pools ahead after 12 minutes, and Alex Reid volleyed in a second shortly after the restart.

Teenage substitute Calvin Okike scored with his first touch as a Hartlepool player after 77 minutes, following up Sam Folarin's parried effort.

Third-placed Carlisle, who had won their previous three matches, had Harvey Macadam sent off just before the hour mark after picking up a second yellow card.

The Cumbrians claimed a consolation 10 minutes from time when Georgie Kelly converted from close range.
