Newport continue revival under Michael Flynn with win over Yeovil

Newport's revival under caretaker boss Michael Flynn continued with a 1-0 win over Yeovil at Rodney Parade.Mickey Demetriou's stunning second-half free-kick gave the Exiles a third consecutive win and they are now just a point from safety in Sky Bet League Two, having been 11 adrift when Flynn took over last month.Newport could have taken an early lead when stand-in-skipper David Pipe's punt upfield found Alex Samuel, but the Swansea loanee could not keep his shot down from close-range.It was then Yeovil's turn to threaten when Joe Day tipped Alex Lacey's header over the bar.Yeovil top scorer Francois Zoko looked dangerous and tested Day with a tame effort on 35 minutes before County forward Ryan Bird headed straight at John Maddison from a corner.The moment of magic from Demetriou came in the 57th minute when his superbly placed 20-yard free-kick beat Maddison.With Yeovil's minimal threat, Newport were unlucky not to double their lead through Samuel and Sean Rigg late on.Yeovil have now been dragged into the relegation battle after a run of just one win in 14 league games which leaves them four points ahead of Newport.
