Notts County 3-0 Hartlepool

Notts County denied Hartlepool a sixth straight win and extended their own unbeaten run to six games with victory at Meadow Lane.

Thomas Ince put his father's side ahead with a shot into the roof of the net after good work by Craig Westcarr.

Leon McSweeney fired Pools' best chance over the bar before Lee Miller headed in from Ben Davies' cross.

Neal Bishop then squared Miller's backheel to Westcarr, who dummied before hammering the ball home.

Notts County assistant manager Alex Rae told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"We're ever so pleased.

"

"On the back of the game a couple of days ago the boys were physically dead on their feet, you could see it.

"But what's struck us on the staff today was their desire and their application which got us that result."
