Stunning Sammy Braybrooke goal in Newport County’s defeat
Nathan Opoku also featured for the Welsh side at Colchester United
Jayden Joseph played for Tranmere Rovers as they also lost out
Henry Cartwright’s Falkirk won but Kian Pennant’s Gateshead were beaten

The Exiles were 3-1 down at Jobserve Community Stadium when the 21-year-old midfielder took aim from inside his own half, planting the ball over goalkeeper Matthew Macey and into the net off the underside of the bar, drawing parallels to Abdul Fatawu’s goal against Ipswich Town a week prior.

Nathan Opoku, meanwhile, was introduced as a 68th-minute substitute in the loss, which leaves Christian Fuchs’ side bottom of Sky Bet League 2, on 13 points from 21 matches, ahead of hosting Barnet at Rodney Parade on Boxing Day (3pm kick-off).

Another appearance in Scotland's top-flight for Henry Cartwright.

Staying in the fourth tier, Jayden Joseph played 90 minutes as Tranmere Rovers were also defeated, losing 3-1 at Oldham Athletic. It’s a home game against Fleetwood Town up next on Friday for the 16th-placed side (3pm kick-off).

Falkirk’s impressive season back in the Scottish Premiership continued with a 1-0 away win over Kilmarnock. Henry Cartwright was in from the start, playing the first half at Rugby Park. Seventh in the table, the Bairns travel to Dundee on Saturday 27 December (3pm kick-off).

Kian Pennant started for Gateshead as the North East outfit were beaten 3-1 at home to Eastleigh at the weekend, slipping to 23rd in the Enterprise National League. Next up is Friday’s meeting with Carlisle United (3pm kick-off) at Gateshead International Stadium.

All times GMT.
