Notts County earned their sixth win in seven games with a 3-1 win over Altrincham on Saturday afternoon.
Luke Williams' side moved into second place in the National League following the victory, with Chesterfield losing to Maidenhead United. Macaulay Langstaff was the star of the show at Meadow Lane, with his second hat-trick for the club and a perfect performance. Marcus Dinanga had made it 2-1 in the second half, but Langstaff restored the two-goal lead just after the hour mark.
After a nervy opening half hour, Langstaff's 13th and 14th goals of the season in the space of two minutes relaxed any concerns within Meadow Lane after Altrincham put in a solid defensive shift.
