Match Report: Notts County slump to tame Accrington Stanley defeat

Notts County's wait for a first league home win of the season continues after they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Accrington Stanley at Meadow Lane.

Billy Kee fired over for the visitors in the early stages while defender Louis Laing’s header was comfortable for goalkeeper Aaron Chapman.

Stanley, however, opened the scoring on 17 minutes when John O’Sullivan fired from the right - his shot took a deflection and looped over Adam Collin.

After the restart, the Magpies came out and applied pressure, with Jonathan Forte putting in a number of dangerous crosses into the Accrington box.

Laing, meanwhile, volleyed straight at Chapman from a Michael O'Connor free-kick.

When O'Sullivan limped off injured, he was replaced by Romuald Boco, which proved to be a boost for Stanley.

The Benin captain added the decisive goal for the visitors when he raced down the left wing, cut into the box and fired low past Collin.

Stanley subsequently held firm to secure the win and overtake Notts into 16th place, with John Sheridan's side now 17th in League Two.
