York City 0-2 Newport County

Yan Klukowski of Newport County stretches out to challenge for a cross

Newport County are set to fall just short of the League Two play-offs despite an impressive win at York City.

David Tutonda put County ahead after good work by Yan Klukowski, before Lee Minshull met Mark Byrne's free-kick with a header to double the lead.

Earlier, York's Jake Hyde saw his penalty saved after Klukowski's pull.

But Plymouth's win over Tranmere means only an Albion loss with an 18-goal swing on the final day of the season would see Newport reach the play-offs.

Newport County manager Jimmy Dack told BBC Radio Wales: "I thought we were outstanding from start to finish, our game plan was spot-on, we came here and passed the ball and I thought we were convincing winners.

"I don't think they could live with our pace today - we've got some pacy players in that team - and we were making the right decisions.

"All in all it's a great day's work but we're going into Saturday and we'll look forward to our last game of the season now."

York City boss Russ Wilcox told BBC Radio York:

"Small picture today is disappointment. Large picture is we could be sitting in Cheltenham or Tranmere's dressing rooms so we've got to be careful where we go with that.

"The performance today wasn't good enough to win the game although there were key moments.

"Over the 90 minutes Newport were the best team today. They shifted the ball around well.

"The main thing is we're playing League Two football next season."
