Notts County played a part in one of the biggest Great Escapes of recent times when they fell to a 2-1 defeat at Newport County on Saturday.

With Hartlepool United 2-1 up against Doncaster Rovers and the Magpies drawing 1-1, the Exiles were set to drop out of the English Football League.

Mickey Demetriou and Jorge Grant exchanged goals either side of half-time as the match looked set to end a stalemate.

However, Mark O'Brien chested and volleyed home in the 89th minute to ensural Newport's survival in League Two, while Notts, with nothing to play for, finished 16th in the fourth tier.

Here are the official Notts YouTube highlights of the game.

The goal was a strike and and half and new port knew that relegation was not a option. And as joeΒ jones says it was the great escape which heaped the pressure on.Β
