Notts County restored momentum to their League Two automatic promotion push with a 3-1 victory over relegation-threatened Newport County at Meadow Lane, with defender Lucas Ness scoring the first two goals of his professional career.
Harrison Biggins pulled a goal back for the Welsh visitors midway through the second half, but Jayden Luker's late strike ensured the points stayed with Martin Paterson's side.
Set-Piece Salvo From Ness
The hosts took the lead on 19 minutes when Matt Palmer's corner picked out Ness, who had time and space to guide his header beyond Newport goalkeeper Jordan Wright. Just four minutes later, the former Charlton defender repeated the trick from the opposite flank, meeting Keanan Bennetts' corner to nod home unmarked.
