Unbeaten run ends in Manchester
Chasetown's recent unbeaten run came to an end with two of the three goals tinged with controversy.
The hosts took the lead after 18 minutes. Matty Bryan appeared to be offside as he broke through the Chasetown back line and fired beyond Curtis Pond.
Pond then made a stunning save to keep it 1-0 midway through the half.
Trafford made it 2-0 when Chasetown failed to deal with a free kick and Jimmy Moore stabbed home from 6 yards despite the visitors appealing for handball against the goal scorer.
Chasetown were a whisker away from reducing the deficit. Niall Flint shot from long range and Elliot Wynne palmed the ball wide for a corner.
It then took a great tackle from Keil O'Brien to deny Chase substitute Liam Kirton.
Chasetown forced the Manchester side back in the second half but the hard work was undone with a goal on the counter attack with substitute Liam Ellis drilling home for 3-0 five minutes from time.
