LEAGUE 2 ROUND-UP

-

A STUNNING long-range strike from Donal McDermott was enough to give leaders Swindon a 1-0 win at Morecambe, while Tom Miller sealed a convincing 3-0 success for Carlisle against Cheltenham.

A ding-dong battle at Adams Park saw Notts County pegged back to 2-2 before running out 4-2 winners.

Richard Duffy celebrated his 50th Magpies appearance with a headed opener from a corner and Wycombe’s Adam El-Abd could do nothing as Luke O’Nien’s attempted clearance hit him and went in to double the visitors’ lead.

Wycombe pulled a goal back early in the second half when Nick Freeman smashed in a shot off the underside of the crossbar and it was all square after 68 minutes when Joe Jacobson curled in a superb free-kick.

The Chairboys’ fightback was in vain, however, as Jonathan Forte turned the ball in from close range six minutes from time and Lewis Alessandra sealed victory with an emphatic finish.

Chris Porter scored the only goal as Crewe beat Barnet 1-0 and Billy Kee’s stoppage-time strike earned Accrington a 2-1 win at home to Mansfield after Lee Angol had cancelled out Kayden Jackson’s opener.

Danny Newton’s third goal of the season – a superb piece of skill and tidy finish – set Stevenage on their way to a 3-1 win against 10-man Grimsby, while Reuben Reid scored the only goal of the game as Exeter claimed a 1-0 victory against Lincoln.

Jordan Sinnott scored one goal and made another as Chesterfie­ld eased to a 2-0 win against Port Vale.

Elsewhere, Forest Green came from two goals down to snatch a 4-3 victory at home to Yeovil.
