Notts County reclaimed top spot in the National League

Macaulay Langstaff set a new club record as Notts County clambered back to the top of the National League table with a 2-0 win at Altrincham.

Langstaff fired his 40th goal of the season following a quick free-kick in the 24th minute to help move his side back above title rivals Wrexham who have two games in hand.

County goalkeeper Archie Mair kept the visitors in control with a brilliant fingertip penalty save from Regan Linney on the half-hour after the same player had been fouled by Kyle Cameron.

And County looked more comfortable three minutes after the break when Ruben Rodrigues made no mistake from the penalty spot following a handball.

Luke Burgess missed a late chance to reduce the deficit for Altrincham before Langstaff came close to adding to his tally when he struck the crossbar in stoppage time.
