Notts County came from behind to beat Barrow, with the scoreline settling at 2-1 on a busy Saturday afternoon in the Championship.
Barrow made the brighter start and took the lead through Scott Smith in the 16th minute, the striker finishing with conviction to silence the home support. Smith then turned provider or doubled his tally shortly after, with the visitors holding a lead at the break despite Notts County pressing for a response.
The hosts had been given a foothold by Charlie McCann, who contributed in the 30th minute, and Danny Rose added further threat before the interval. Tom Iorpenda was shown a card in the 43rd minute, briefly reducing Barrow's discipline in the closing stages of the first half.
Notts County reorganised at the break, with Harald Tangen introduced at the start of the second half to sharpen their midfield presence. Matthew Dennis drew the hosts level in the 58th minute with a composed finish that shifted the momentum decisively.
The final act belonged to Charlie Raglan, who scored in the 76th minute to put Notts County ahead for the first time. Barrow attempted to respond through a flurry of late substitutions, including Tom Barkhuizen and Connor Mahoney, but the home side managed the closing minutes without alarm.
Notts County deserved the points for their second-half persistence. Barrow had done enough to warrant more from the afternoon, but their early advantage was ultimately undone by a stronger collective response from the home side.
