FOUND: Gary neville sends notts county one word message after wembley heroics - You Need To See This

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has congratulated Notts County on their promotion back to the EFL.

The Magpies sealed their return to the Football League after a four-year absence by beating Chesterfield on penalties in the National League play-off final at Wembley on Saturday. The sides had been locked at 2-2 after extra-time before Luke Williams' side edged it on spot kicks in dramatic style.

Substitute goalkeeper Archie Mair, on loan from Norwich City and sent on in the final minute of extra time for the spot-kick contest, denied Darren Oldaker and Jeff King with full-length saves as Notts won 4-3 on penalties. Macaulay Langstaff, Ruben Rodrigues, Jodi Jones and Cedwyn Scott were successful from the spot for the Magpies, the latter achieving redemption having missed from 12 yards in the promotion showdown with Wrexham last month.
