Port Vale narrowed the gap between themselves and the Sky Bet League Two automatic promotion places to just one point after a late win over second place Notts County at Vale Park on Thursday night.

The result sees the Valiants continue their unbeaten league start to the calendar year, now going seven games without a loss.

The game was won with just five minutes of normal time remaining as substitute Ronan Curtis came off the bench to be the hero for the hosts. Lorent Tolaj's cross into the box was calmly taken down by Curtis on his chest before prodding the ball beyond Alex Bass in the County goal.

The reuslt moves Darren Moore's side back up to fifth in the league standings and sees them complete a first league over the Magpies in 21 years.
