Newport County's Finn Azaz has scored in back-to-back League Two games

Jack Aitchison's second-half equaliser earned League Two leaders Forest Green Rovers a point at Newport County.

Finn Azaz put the hosts ahead after just three minutes, finishing Rob Street's low cross past Luke McGee.

Azaz almost scored his second when through one-on-one but McGee denied him to keep Newport's lead down to one.

Aitchinson drew Rovers level after 55 minutes, firing home from a tight angle, before Newport defender James Clarke was sent off late on.

Forest Green remain top with a point, while Newport move up two places to sixth.
