Brandon Miele's opener for the Magpies was cancelled out by Sanmi Odelusi just before the half time whistle, with the striker left with a simple tap in following a cross from Joe McKee.

With both teams battling to take the points, Wanderers hit the decisive strike midway through the second half as Blakeman slotted home from the spot after Odelusi was fouled
