Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Carlisle United and Newport County.

Kristian Dennis scored one and created another as Carlisle eased to a 2-0 home victory against Newport in Sky Bet League Two.

The Cumbrians' top scorer netted for a third game in a row as he took his impressive tally for the season to 15 goals in all competitions on the stroke of half-time.

He also provided the assist for Crystal Palace loanee John-Kymani Gordon to wrap up the points on debut at Brunton Park.

The first half was hampered by blustery conditions but Dennis struck in stoppage time with a well-taken goal across the keeper and in off the post.

Carlisle broke at blistering pace for the second as Gordon fired a low shot beyond Exiles stopper Joe Day.

Owen Moxon went looking for a third, but Day held on to keep him out.

County threatened but Priestley Farquharson could only nod wide of the mark while Day produced a good late save to keep out Jack Armer with his legs.
