Substitute Andy Williams scored a late winner to secure a narrow win over Notts County and lift Yeovil out of the relegation zone.

Williams had only been on the pitch a matter of minutes when he headed home fellow sub Steve MacLean's cross.

It was County who had the best chances, with Alan Judge's ferocious strike cannoning back off the crossbar.

Gavin Massey's dangerous ball across the box was the closest the Glovers had come before their late winner.

VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM

Notts County boss Martin Allen told BBC Radio Nottingham:

"The first 45 minutes was probably some of the best football we've played all season.

"We had some good chances, played some lovely football but we just didn't convert anything.

"I thought only one team was going to score but one free-kick has cost us."
