Match Report: Notts County slump to heavy defeat at hands of Newport County

Notts County have fallen to a second humiliating league defeat in quick succession after Newport County, League Two's bottom club, left Meadow Lane with a 3-0 win.

The Exiles took the lead in the 34th minute when Rhys Healey was fouled inside the Magpies area by Richard Duffy, prompting the referee to award a penalty.

Although Sean Rigg's shot was saved by goalkeeper Adam Collin, he latched onto the rebound and fired home from close range.

Six minutes later John Sheridan's former side had doubled their lead as Healey went on an unopposed run and struck his third goal in a week.

Josh Sheehan also notched up his third strike in as many games as he lashed a half-volley beyond Collin in the 62nd minute.

Tom Owen-Evans then forced Collin to tip over the bar with a shot from 30 yards as the afternoon threatened to turn even worse for the Magpies.

Notts mustered little in front of goal all afternoon and remain stuck on just one league win at Meadow Lane all season, to the chagrin of the long-suffering fans.
