Match Report: Shaun Derry haunts Notts County again as Cambridge United claim win

Notts County's poor form continues as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Cambridge United in Tuesday night's League Two clash at Meadow Lane.

The first chance of the game fell to U's forward Uche Ikpeazu, who made the most of a deflection in his favour but was unable to find the target from 18 yards.

Shaun Derry's charges, however, continued to impress, and they duly took the lead on 26 minutes when Ikpeazu bumped off Louis Laing before playing COnor Newton through on goal to sidefoot past Adam Collin.

Genaro Snijders should have equalised for Notts when he raced clear through on goal but dragged his shot wide of the far post.

Cambridge, however, continued to dominate, and caused another scare when Mark Roberts had his half-volley ruled out for offside.

In the second half, Notts had the bulk of possession but found chances hard to come by until the death.

Their best opportunity came when Matt Tootle headed into the box, which forced Will Norris to punch back into the area.

The ball dropped to Aaron Collins but his shot hit a defender on the line and bounced off the back of Norris for a corner.

Cambridge were able to clear the set-piece as Derry's side held on to claim all three points for the third time in a row since he became U's manager.
