Notts County duo win recognition for brilliant Eastleigh performance

Notts County duo Callum Roberts and Kyle Wootton made the Non-League Paper's team of the day after their brilliant performances against Eastleigh.

The pair had excellent games in the National League clash at Meadow Lane where Neal Ardley's side romped to a 4-0 win that cemented third spot in the division.

Notts' top scorer Wootton opened the scoring early in the first half when he rose to meet a Kristian Dennis cross.

Roberts the laid on Dennis' third goal in a week when he produced an inch-perfect centre for the striker to nod in at the back post.

Wootton took his goals tally to 18 for the season when he finished off a sweeping move by steering in Mitch Rose's cut-back.

And then Roberts rounded off convincing performance when he rifled in from the edge of the box which was also his third goal in the last seven days.

Wootton and Roberts' contribution was deemed worthy enough to make the non-league's best 11 of the day, although the league programme only saw six matches go ahead because of coronavirus.

The full-team: Mitch Walker (Aldershot); Lawrie Wilson (Ebbsfleet), Alex Whitmore (AFC Fylde), Ben Whyatt (Sutton); Callum Roberts (Notts County), Luke Molyneux (Hartlepool), Mark Yeates (AFC Fylde), Nassim L'Ghoul (Dover); Liam McAlinden (Stockport), Kyle Wootton (Notts County), Gozie Ugwu (Ebbsfleet).
