Adebola Oluwa and Kelly N’Mai earn Salford victory at Notts County

Adebola Oluwa and Kelly N’Mai earn Salford victory at Notts County

Goals in each half from Adebola Oluwa and Kelly N’Mai enabled Salford to get their League Two season up and running with a 2-1 win at Notts County.

The Ammies had lost their opening game at home to Crewe and Martin Paterson’s first competitive home game as the Magpies Notts County head coach ended in disappointment.

Karl Robinson’s side took the lead in the 35th minute after Josh Austerfield’s shot was deflected behind and from the resulting corner Oluwa came charging in unmarked to head home Jorge Grant’s corner.

County gifted Salford a 57th-minute second when they made a mess of trying to play out from the back.

Austerfield intercepted goalkeeper Kelle Roos’ pass and coolly set up N’Mai for a simple finish.

County, who drew at Newport in their first league outing, rallied with Jodi Jones hitting the bar from a free-kick before substitute Jayden Luker pulled one back in the 71st minute.

The Luton loanee slotted home from close range to cap a move involving Sonny Aljofree and Tom Iorpenda.
