In Sky Bet League 2, Nathan Opoku scored a late consolation goal for Newport County in their narrow 2-1 reverse at league leaders Bromley on New Year’s Day.
The forward, on as a half-time substitute for Christian Fuchs’ men, struck in the 87th minute but could not prevent a 15th defeat of the season for the side placed 23rd in the division. Next up for the Exiles is Saturday’s trip to Gillingham.
Sammy Braybrooke, meanwhile, who spent the first half of 25/26 on loan at Newport, made his Chesterfield debut in a 2-2 draw against MK Dons, playing throughout, as Will Grigg scored a stoppage-time leveller for the Spireites.

The youngster could make his home bow in the meeting with Colchester United this Saturday, with Chesterfield aiming to remain inside the play-off positions.
Elsewhere, Jayden Joseph enjoyed another 90 minutes in the fourth tier, helping Tranmere Rovers to a 2-0 success over bottom-of-the-table Harrogate Town. He could be in action again this weekend, when hosting Bromley at Prenton Park on Saturday.
