Notts County recovered from conceding an early equaliser to claim a vital 2-1 victory over Barrow in a scrappy League Two encounter. After Scott Smith's unfortunate own goal gave the Magpies the lead, Charlie McCann quickly restored parity for the visitors with a well-taken strike. Matthew Dennis proved to be the match-winner just before the hour mark, capitalising on a defensive lapse to fire home what would be the decisive goal. The victory keeps Notts County's promotion push on track, while Barrow's inconsistent away form continues to hamper their mid-table ambitions.
