Newport County have won five of their opening nine League Two matches of the season

Newport County secured back-to-back wins as they earned an impressive 3-1 victory over Salford City.

Kyle Hudlin and Aaron Wildig both struck in the opening half to put the Exiles in command at Rodney Parade.

Substitute Michael Spellman bagged a third for Newport midway through the second half with his first touch of the game, before Cole Stockton notched a late consolation for the visitors.

Victory lifts Nelson Jardim's outfit up to ninth.

Salford sit 20th in the League Two table.

Newport County boss Nelson Jardim told BBC Sport Wales:

"A great game, I'm just chuffed for the fans. I'm happy with the way things are going and again today the fans were the 12th man.

"A good game today, tough, like we expect every game to be but I thought the boys did well.

"It's just making sure now we stay compact, stay together and we keep working to improve the team as well."
