David Unsworth makes Notts County claim after Oldham Athletic clash

Oldham Athletic boss David Unsworth believes Notts County will go up as champions of the National League this season following their 4-1 defeat at Meadow Lane.

In a thrilling first half, the Magpies took the lead through Cedwyn Scott's 10th goal of the season, only for new signing Joe Nuttall to level under a minute later on his Latics debut.

Despite their equaliser, that was about as good as it got for Unsworth's side, with Kyle Cameron, Ruben Rodrigues, and Scott's second of the afternoon compounding Oldham to their 12th defeat of the season.

The contrast in quality was evident all afternoon, with Luke Williams' side rarely getting out of second gear as they carved their opponents apart on several occasions with relative ease during their comfortable win.

The frustrations of the travelling Oldham fans echoed around the ground multiple times on Saturday afternoon, with the Latics facing the real possibility of back-to-back relegations.

Unsworth was aware of the gap in quality between the two sides and believes the Magpies have got everything right this campaign to see them end their four-year stay in the National League.

"We came up against a really good and they have been here for four years trying to get this right and get out of this league.

"It's taken them four years, a lot of players coming in and going, and it looks without a shadow of a doubt that they have got it right and I am sure they will go up as champions this year.

"I have seen a lot of Championship and League One games this year and I think they would give those opposition a good game as well."
