NEWPORT County AFC saw victory snatched away by a controversial stoppage time penalty at Rodney Parade.

County led 2-0 with 20 minutes to go thanks to first half strikes by Scott Donnelly and Byron Anthony.

But recalled goalkeeper Lenny Pidgeley was stretchered off on 72 minutes and replacement Alan Julian's first job was to pick the ball out of the net after Lee Hendrie's shot was deflected in.

The Lambs earned a point in the third minute of time added on when Adam Cunnington sent Julian the wrong way from the spot.
