NEWPORT County AFC survived a second half fightback from Torquay United and held on to take all three points at Rodney Parade.

First half goals from Ismail Yakubu and the recalled Danny Crow put the Exiles in control at the break.

But substitute Ade Azeez scored just before the hour to give the Gulls hope.

The visitors pushed hard for an equalizer as the minutes ticked away but some resolute defending from Justin Edinburgh's men saw them clinch their first home win since August 17.
