Saturday 14 January 2023 18:33, UK
Kristian Dennis scored one and created another as Carlisle eased to a 2-0 home victory against Newport in Sky Bet League Two.
The Cumbrians' top scorer netted for a third game in a row as he took his impressive tally for the season to 15 goals in all competitions on the stroke of half-time.
He also provided the assist for Crystal Palace loanee John-Kymani Gordon to wrap up the points on debut at Brunton Park.
The first half was hampered by blustery conditions but Dennis struck in stoppage time with a well-taken goal across the keeper and in off the post.
Carlisle broke at blistering pace for the second as Gordon fired a low shot beyond Exiles stopper Joe Day.
