Newport County 4 Accrington Stanley 1

 

NEWPORT County AFC marked their return to the Football League with a thumping with over Accrington Stanley.

The Exiles were in control from the first whistle until the last as their debutants caught the eye on a magical afternoon in front of a bumper crowd.

Defender Harry Worley and striker Chris Zebroski (twice) both scored on debut, with Adam Chapman creating three goals in a virtuoso display.

Chapman’s long throw supplied Worley for the first and Zebroski doubled the advantage following a fine team move on the stroke of half time.

A stunner from Christian Jolley and another cracker from Zebroski made it 4-0, before ex-Man United man Danny Webber grabbed a consolation.

The Exiles are next in action on Tuesday at Brighton in the Capital One Cup.
