Kyle Wootton and Paddy Madden were on target as leaders Stockport claimed a 2-1 League Two victory over Notts County to remain six points clear at the top of the table.
A late David McGoldrick strike set up a tense finish, but the Hatters held on.
It took just seven minutes for Stockport to take the lead following a set-piece off the training ground when Kyle Knoyle's low corner was steered in by Wootton.
Notts County were vying for an equaliser. Jodi Jones drove an effort just wide and he swung in a free-kick which Macaulay Langstaff could not make clean contact with from point-blank range.
Magpies goalkeeper Aidan Stone prevented Wootton from doubling his tally at the start of the second half, making two fine stops one-on-one.
