Notts County secured their first victory of the new League Two campaign with a thrilling comeback against Grimsby Town at Meadow Lane.
The home side twice came from behind to claim all three points in a match that had plenty of drama and excitement. Grimsby Town started the game brightly and took the lead in the 17th minute when Danny Rose capitalised on a poor back pass from Aaron Nemane to Connell Rawlinson.
However, Notts County showed great resilience and managed to equalise through John Bostock, who chested down the ball inside the area before volleying it past Mariners keeper Jake Eastwood.
In first-half stoppage time, Bostock almost doubled his tally, but it was Harry Clifton who managed to beat the offside trap and restore Grimsby's lead just before the break.
The second half started with Notts County once again on the front foot, and they were rewarded for their efforts when Jodi Jones' deflected cross looped over Eastwood to level the scores for the second time.
The comeback was complete just after the hour mark when Jones turned provider, picking out Dan Crowley at the back post to head home and give Notts County the lead for the first time in the match. Grimsby Town pushed forward in search of an equaliser, but substitute Rekeil Pyke was unable to guide his header beyond County keeper Aidan Stone.
This victory will give Notts County a huge boost of confidence as they look to build on this result and climb up the League Two table. Grimsby Town will need to start from scratch as they seek to recover from this loss.
It was an entertaining match that had plenty of twists and turns, and both sets of fans will have left Meadow Lane feeling that they had witnessed a great game of football.
