Exeter extended their unbeaten run to six games with victory at Newport

Exeter City boosted their League Two title hopes with a narrow win at Newport County.

Tim Dieng bundled home Jack Sparkes' free-kick with 18 minutes remaining to break the deadlock in a tight game.

Dom Telford came close to levelling soon after for the hosts but County's top scorer was denied by keeper Cameron Dawson's fine save.

Exeter stay second, four points behind leaders Forest Green while County drop down to eighth.

Newport County manager James Rowberry said:

"Disappointed to concede a goal from a set play which and disappointed with the result but I can't fault the lads' efforts.

"I'm really frustrated today.

"It's going to go down to the wire so we've got to dust ourselves down and me and the players have to reflect a bit and we move forward."
