'What I liked' - Ian Burchnall responds to Notts County win at Dover

Notts County head coach Ian Burchnall praised a "really good" performance as the Magpies secured a third straight win in the National League with a comfortable victory at Dover.

The Magpies ran out 3-0 winners as they turned on the style in the second half which saw Myles Judd sent off for the hosts after picking up a second yellow card.

Ed Francis put Notts on their way to victory with a stunning 35-yard lob, before Callum Roberts added a second thanks to some wonderful quick feet and cool finish.

Ruben Rodrigues then hit a stunning free-kick late on as the Magpies moved up to fifth in the National League table.

Reflecting on a dominant display, Burchnall said: "We put on a really good performance, a very controlled one and we dominated the game," he said.

"We created loads of chances and probably could have scored more but it took us a while to get that first.

"But after that we controlled the game well and didn't give them anything. Credit to their keeper he produced three or four fantastic saves and kept them in the game in the first half.

"But what I liked is that behind the ball we were very stable. They didn't have a shot on target.

"We almost had nothing to do, the little bits that Sam Slocombe he did very well.

"We stayed calm, focused and did our job."
