Newport County moved to within two points of the League Two play-off places with an impressive 2-0 away win against AFC Wimbledon.

The hosts, who started the day in seventh, trailed after 10 minutes as Bryn Morris put the Exiles ahead.

Centre-back Kyle Jameson doubled the visitors' lead 10 minutes into the second half in south-west London, poking home at the back post.

Newport rise to 11th as the race for the play-off places gets even closer.

Wimbledon stay in seventh place despite defeat, but are now just one point above Walsall and Gillingham, who in turn are one point above Newport and Crawley.

Newport County manager Graham Coughlan told BBC Sport Wales: "It was a really strong performance, I thought we were very good particularly in the first half.

"There were lots of balls in the box we had to defend, it was a typical League Two away day, and our lads stood up and kept a clean sheet which is a big ask.

"We're within two points of 57 points which is the target we set. When we get there we can maybe set a different target, but at this moment in time we need to get to 57."
