GOAL OF THE WEEKEND: Joe Pigott – Newport County
The Charlton loanee has been in good form on-loan to the Welsh club and he scored a fine goal to help earn Newport a well-earned draw against a tough Accrington Stanley. Pigott controlled well, turned quickly and fired a lovely strike into the Stanley goal, taking him to three goals since he joined the club.
The result sees the club stay just inside the play-off places on goal difference but they’ll be ecstatic with their start to the season but they also won’t forget what happened last year. Justin Edinburgh’s side were terrific at the start of last season but fell afoul of the weather and a backlog of fixtures, they’ll need Pigott to keep firing if they want to be a success this year.
