Macaulay Langstaff went past the 39 goals scored by Tom Keetley for Notts County in 1930-31
Macaulay Langstaff set a club record for goals in a season as Notts County returned to the top of the National League table with victory at Altrincham.
Langstaff fired his 40th goal of the campaign following a quick free-kick in the 24th minute to help move his side top on goal difference from title rivals Wrexham, who have two games in hand.
County goalkeeper Archie Mair kept the visitors in control with a brilliant fingertip penalty save from Regan Linney on the half-hour after the same player had been fouled by Kyle Cameron.
And County looked more comfortable three minutes after the break when Ruben Rodrigues made no mistake from the penalty spot following a handball.
Luke Burgess missed a late chance to reduce the deficit for Altrincham before Langstaff came close to adding to his tally when he struck the crossbar in stoppage time.
