Notts County boss Luke Williams has applauded Macaulay Langstaff's "outstanding" debut as the striker scored a brace to help the Magpies to a 3-0 opening day victory over Maidenhead United.
Langstaff, who joined the club from Gateshead in the summer, scored two impressive goals in the opening 45 minutes to set Williams' men on their way to their first win of the season. Joel Taylor's spectacular strike from 25-yards out sealed the victory in the second half to hand the new Magpies boss a winning start.
Williams handed debuts to Aden Baldwin and Sam Austin, alongside Langstaff, and was rewarded for his trust in his new recruits. After the striker’s double in front of over 6,000 spectators, Williams praised his number nine for his first outing in black and white.
