Notts County 2-3 Shrewsbury Town
- Published
Dave McAllister was the hero as Shrewsbury fought back from two down to win at relegation rivals Notts County.
Jack Grealish struck early from close in, quickly followed by Alan Sheehan's penalty after Grealish was felled.
Jon Taylor reduced the arrears before the break with a neat strike, before Notts striker James Spencer was red-carded for elbowing Connor Goldson.
Taylor added his second when he lobbed Bartosz Bialkowski before McAllister notched his scrappy Shrewsbury winner.
Notts, now 23rd in the League One table, have lost five of their last six matches.
Shrewsbury's first victory since New Year's Day takes them back above Notts up to 22nd, within three points of safety.
McAllister's 70th-minute winner, just three minutes after Taylor's equaliser, also completed a Town double over Notts, Shrewsbury having also enjoyed a 1-0 win at the Greenhous Meadow in November, their last home win.
Town manager Mike Jackson told BBC Radio Shropshire:
"The first 15 to 20 minutes we looked scared to death. Once again, we rode our luck. But, credit to them, we have stuck with it and somehow got a result.
"The win was never going to be simple. It was always going to be something like that.
"We have conceded two rough goals, and we can't keep doing that. Defensively we have been sound, but we weren't good enough in the first 20 minutes."
