Notts County storm top of table to burst Scunthorpe bubble

Notts County moved to the top of the National League table as a 4-1 win spoilt Scunthorpe’s party.

There was a sense of optimism around Glanford Park following the news owner Peter Swann had reached an agreement with a local group for them to take over the club.

The game started so well for Scunthorpe as they took a 19th-minute lead through Caolan Lavery’s driven finish.

But the Iron’s joy was short-lived as Quevin Castro swept in an equaliser from a Ruben Rodrigues pass four minutes later.
