Five-star Oldham cruise to victory against Newport
Posted Sunday, March 01, 2020 by PA
Two goals from Danny Rowe and one each from Zak Dearnley, Tom Hamer and Jonny Smith ensured Oldham ended a turbulent week on a high with a 5-0 win over Newport.
The hosts, entering the game under the threat of administration, went close to opening the scoring after four minutes when Dearnley’s header rebounded off a post.
Oldham went ahead in the 25th minute when Rowe rounded goalkeeper Tom King and fired home through a congested goalmouth.
Two minutes later the lead was doubled. Cameron Borthwick-Jackson raced down the left and sent in an inch-perfect first-time cross towards former Manchester United colleague Dearnley, who neatly side-footed home on the volley.
Seven minutes after half-time, Rowe twisted past his marker and shot low underneath King and Hamer was next on the scoresheet in the 62nd minute with a deflected effort that looped in.
Rowe hit a post before Smith dribbled into the area and shot home low off the far post in the 83rd minute, while Newport’s best effort was a Matt Dolan shot that went wide in stoppage time.
