Notts County’s bid to seal a National League play-off place suffered a further setback as they were beaten 2-1 at Solihull Moors.

Jimmy Knowles had fired an 11th-minute opener for County, who were looking to bounce back from Saturday’s defeat at promotion rivals Hartlepool.

But the home side hit back in the second half, with Kyle Hudlin forcing an excellent save out of County keeper Sam Slocombe.

James Ball seized on a defensive error to pull Solihull level in the 65th minute and Hudlin hit what turned out to be the winner in the 79th minute.

County had a late penalty shout waved away and saw a Ruben Rodrigues effort fly harmlessly over the bar.
