Newport beat Crawley in race for League Two play-offs
GOAL: Liam Shephard celebrates County's opener NEWPORT County AFC recorded a huge win in their push for the League Two play-offs, and knocked out one of their rivals in the process. The Exiles beat Crawley Town 2-0 at Rodney Parade thanks to a long-range strike from Liam Shephard early in the second half and a killer blow deep in time added on by Aaron Lewis. They stay seventh in the table but still have little margin for error and no time for pats on the back – defeat at Exeter on Saturday would see them leapfrogged by the Grecians, and potentially Salford.
