Rúben Rodrigues scored Notts' second goal from the spot at Plainmoor, but then got sent off
Ruben Rodrigues' penalty proved the difference as National League leaders Notts County won 2-1 at relegation battling Torquay.
County took the lead in the 34th minute with a quick counter-attack, finished off when Macauley Langstaff took a touch to control Connell Rawlinson's pass before rifling a shot home.
Torquay went in level at half-time as Tom Lapslie controlled inside the box before finishing three minutes before the break.
But only two minutes into the second half Aaron Nemane was brought down in the box and Rodrigues sent Mark Halstead the wrong way for what proved to be the winner.
County held on for the final 25 minutes after Rodrigues was shown a second yellow card for a handball.
