Bakinson strike sinks Athletic

Sub Jose Baxter missed a couple of chances late on

There was frustration for Athletic as their five-match unbeaten League Two run was halted by in-form Newport at Boundary Park.

The Exiles sealed a 1-0 success thanks to a second-half strike from Tyreeq Bakinson.

The Bristol City loanee scored after 69 minutes after being neatly teed up by Matty Dolan.

Athletic manager Frankie Bunn later admitted that his side 'did everything but score' after the visitors had notched the all-important winner.

Johan Branger-Engone, Dan Gardner and sub Jose Baxter all went close to scoring what would probably have been a deserved leveller.

Athletic dropped to 10th in the table as a result.

They return to action on Saturday when they travel to struggling Grimsby Town, who were thumped 4-0 at Bury yesterday.
