Newport County's latest escape act has left their fans on the edge of their seats as they secured League Two survival with a dramatic 3-2 win over Barrow. The Exiles had spent 25 of the campaign's 45 matchdays in the relegation zone, but a last-gasp 3-2 win over Oldham a week earlier meant their fate was in their own hands. With 15 minutes left, Newport were staring into the abyss, 1-0 down and heading for relegation. But substitute Tom Davies' equaliser and then Bobby Kamwa's superb winner in the 83rd minute sent the travelling supporters into raptures. Manager Christian Fuchs described the win as 'indescribable' and 'incredible', with the team's celebrations likened to winning the league. The Exiles will face a significant summer to ensure they do not find themselves in this same situation again in 12 months, with a decline in form over the past few seasons a major concern. Despite their wage bill being among the smallest in the division, former Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins has invested £3m of his own money to stabilise the club, but new investment is still needed to take the team forward.
