Accrington Stanley 3-3 Newport County

Newport County's Lee Minshull

Midfielder Lee Minshull's injury-time goal salvaged a point for Newport County against Accrington Stanley.

The visitors went ahead through Robbie Willmott's free-kick, only for Peter Murphy to fire in an equaliser.

Kal Naismith's header then put Stanley in front, before Ryan Burge's fine strike levelled the score once more.

Accrington looked to have won it when Murphy nodded in two minutes from time, but Minshull converted Willmott's cross to snatch a point.

The goal denied 22nd-placed Accrington a first win in five matches, and put an end to Newport's two-game losing streak.

VIEW FROM THE DRESSING ROOM

Newport County manager Justin Edinburgh told BBC Radio Wales:

"Credit to the players because they continued to press for the equaliser and we deserved to come away with a point at least.

"We are disappointed with the goals we conceded because we started the game ever so well and took the game to Accrington.

"But we conceded two bad goals and a third and it looked like we were going home empty handed.

"Getting three goals and you would normally expect to get three points, but if you collect a point away from home, you have to be very happy."
