Elliott Hewitt keeps Magpies sitting pretty in League Two
Posted Sunday, November 12, 2017 by PA
Notts County remained top of Sky Bet League Two after Elliott Hewitt's equaliser earned a 1-1 draw at Stevenage to reward what was a battling second-half performance.
The Magpies are a point clear of both Accrington and Exeter after failing to force a winner despite finishing the match at the Lamex Stadium well on top.
County goalkeeper Ross Fitzsimons was almost embarrassed when he was beaten to Tom Pett's cross by Dan Newton, whose header bounced off the top of the bar.
Stevenage broke the deadlock seven minutes before half-time as Shaun Brisley's header fell for Ronnie Henry, whose ball back into the box allowed Newton to finish into the bottom corner.
Jorge Grant sent a free-kick just over for the visitors before the break and Newton forced Fitzsimons into a save at his near post less than a minute into the second half.
The Magpies improved after the break and levelled when Grant passed the ball inside for Hewitt, who produced a good, measured finish beyond Joe Fryer.
