Notts County 1-2 Cambridge United

Shaun Derry was appointed by Cambridge in November, having been sacked by Notts County last March

Cambridge boss Shaun Derry won on his return to former club Notts County as the U's kept their slim hopes of making the League Two play-offs alive.

Luke Berry gave Cambridge a great start as he charged down County keeper Scott Loach's clearance and the ball flew into the far corner of the net.

County levelled when Haydn Hollis met a Liam Noble free-kick.

Ben Williamson got the winner after a goalmouth scramble before Noble was sent off for a foul on Darnell Furlong.

The victory leaves Cambridge five points off the play-off places with two games to go.

Derry's side must hope that they win their final two matches and AFC Wimbledon, who occupy the final play-off place, take no more than one point from their remaining three fixtures.
