Notts County have cemented their hold on top spot in League Two thanks to a clinical 3-0 win over Exeter City on Tuesday night.
In a clash that pitted the top two teams in the division against each other, it was the Magpies who came out on top to extend their lead to three points thanks to Lewis Alessandra's early goal and substitute Jorge Grant's second-half brace.
Here is what the Notts boss, some of the players and several fans had to say following the game.
Kevin Nolan
“I think it was the most complete performance because we were away from home, we got the clean sheet, and scored three goals.
“We came here on a Tuesday night, made five changes and if it doesn’t work people start to question you.
“It’s certainly up there and I love winning every game. It means so much to me to have another fantastic result like this.
Jorge Grant
"Confidence is high but we have to keep level heads. We've had a great start but it's still early on in the season.
"We can't get too high when we win but, at the same time, we can't get too low when we lose."

The fans (from PON's match discussion of the Exeter game)
Upthepies: Surprise start to the game to go 1-0 up minutes into the first half. I thought the team defended bravely after a shaky period, the players re-group at half time. I don't know what Kevin Nolan said but whatever it was they came back out more determined. Richard Duffy was class tonight! Yet Ryan Yates stole the show for me. He worked very hard and his engine never stopped.
Liampie: Wow, 3-0 win over a very decent team. it sounded like we played very well in the second half especially. So pleased right now!
Chris: At the moment everything's going our way! 3-0! Two goals by Jorge Grant and of course the opener by Lewis Alessandra. Mark Stallard and Charlie Slater labelling the game 'the performance of the season by Notts', well the first half sounded like a write off towards the end but Notts have remained focused and sealed a good display.
Who r ya?? You Pies!!: Omg what a win and performance , strong in defence good going forward getting those goals , Gorge Grants on fire league 2 defences are terrified lol COYP
Countyman: I just want to say it, WE ARE STILL TOP OF LEAGUE TWO. 3-0 win over Exeter? Fantastic!
