Elliott Hewitt hands Notts County first win of season

Elliott Hewitt scored the decisive goal as Notts County claimed their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Crewe at Meadow Lane.

The Magpies roared out of the blocks and were ahead after five minutes when Rob Milsom drove in after good work by Jon Stead and Kane Hemmings.

But Crewe fought back to equalise with their first meaningful attack as a cross from Corey Whelan was not dealt with, allowing Jordan Bowery to find the bottom corner.

Both sides looked to find a winner in the second half, with Lewis Alessandra seeing a shot blocked and Hewitt heading the rebound wide of the target.

But it was Hewitt who finally made Crewe pay when Cedric Evina’s inch-perfect cross was met by the midfielder whose header had too much power for goalkeeper Ben Garratt.

Crewe summoned some late pressure in a bid to find an equaliser and Ross Fitzsimons had to save from Ryan Wintle to ensure the Magpies secured their first win under boss Harry Kewell.
