Wednesday 26 December 2018 19:20, UK
Scott Wilson hit a vital brace as Macclesfield boosted their survival hopes with a 2-1 win at relegation rivals Notts County.
Wilson opened the scoring with a long-range effort in the first half, before Kane Hemmings looked to have rescued a point.
But Wilson slotted home with nine minutes to go after a cool finish to move Macclesfield up to 23rd, with County now sitting bottom of the Football League.
Harry Smith had a goal chalked off on 15 minutes as the Silkmen took control, with the same man shooting straight at Ross Fitzsimons before heading over from a corner.
Macclesfield took a deserved lead when Wilson scored with the aid of the post from 20 yards on 36 minutes.
Tyrone Marsh and Smith both wasted headed chances, before Hemmings lashed home after a cross had been blocked on 64 minutes, but Wilson won it late on after he dummied past his man and slotted home.
That was not the end of the action however, Smith and County's Keston Davies both sent off for separate injury-time incidents.
