Five goal thriller sees rare home win for Shrews

Shrewsbury came from behind to win for the first time since victory at Accrington in December 2007 as they beat Notts County 3-2. County took the lead after 17 minutes through Richard Butcher with a low 25-yard shot past Luke Daniels after he had missed a much easier chance from 12 yards. Three minutes later Moses Ashikodi equalised from close range after a goalmouth scramble following Ben Davies' free-kick. Striker Delroy Facey, inexplicably back in defence, pulled down Grant Holt who scored his 24th goal of the season from the spot to put Shrews ahead after 37 minutes. After their bright start County faded in the second half. Holt's shot was deflected wide and from Davies' corner, Graham Coughlan looped his header over Kevin Pilkington. Five minutes from time Jonathan Forte raced clear to make it 3-2 but in an exciting finish the Shrews held on for their 14th home win of the season.
