James Rowberry celebrates Newport's third successive win under his guidance

Dom Telford scored a dramatic added time winner at Hartlepool to send Newport County into the play-off zone.

Courtney Baker-Richardson headed the visitors into the lead in the first half.

David Ferguson equalised from a free-kick before Telford continued his scoring streak to seal the win.

However, James Rowberry's side must wait for the rest of the weekend's League Two games to discover if they will stay fifth.

Hartlepool remain 10th in the table after their first home league defeat of 2021-22.

Newport boss James Rowberry:

"I lost my voice - I lost my voice last week. [I'm] very pleased with the performance and I suppose people say there's nothing better than an injury-time winner, but I'm just happy to get the result and get the three points.

"[I'm] pleased for my players and pleased for my staff."
