Hide AdAnd City’s short corner routines remain potent for 70 minutes as they converted an excellent ratio of six goals from nine attempts.
Wilson went to finish with four set-piece goals, while Danny Sisson and Joe Finding also struck from short corners.
Sisson and Andrews both added second goals from open play to keep City in second place, one point behind leaders St Albans who won 8-1 at Spalding.
It was quite a performance for City as Chelmsford hadn’t conceded more than four in a game this season. They usually score though and they did save some face with goals, a penalty and a short corner, that reduced their arrears, briefly, to 4-1 and 7-2.
City have been drawn away against fellow East Premier Division side Cambridge University in the second round of the First Tier Cup in the English Championships (December 3).
