Frank Vincent has insisted he and his Notts County team-mates will continue to take this remarkable National League season one game at a time following this afternoon's results.
The Magpies returned to the top of the division with a comfortable 3-0 win over Wealdstone, with goals from Sam Austin, Macaulay Langstaff, and Vincent himself seeing Luke Williams' side take their points tally to 100 for the campaign, the first team in the club's history to do so.
But shortly before Vincent added Notts' third of the encounter, cheers from around the ground erupted as the news broke of Milli Alli's second goal of the game to put the Shaymen 2-1 up against Wrexham.

Those cheers continued as those in attendance headed for the exits, Mani Dieseruvwe adding a third late on to compound Phil Parkinson's side to just their third defeat of the season ahead of their eagerly anticipated clash this Monday.
"It's been a mad title race with them, we have ultra respect for them as a team because they are just relentless," Vincent told BBC Radio Nottingham on how he views the title race after today's results.
"It is going to go right to the end and we're trying not to focus too much on them and it's just one game at a time and today it was Wealdstone, and now we have to focus on our next match and get the three points.
"We know it is going to be tough but we have to keep pushing."
On an emotional day for everyone associated with the football club, supporters, players, and coaching staff paid their respects to the special Jason Turner who sadly passed away last week.
Vincent spoke about the difficulties of dealing with the situation heading into the game, hoping that the performance from himself and his team-mates made Mr. Turner proud this afternoon.
"Today's result is a great dedication to Jason.
"Everyone has had that personal connection with him, he's a great guy, was full of energy, always smiling, and anything you needed to be done he was there to do it, he would have been proud of us today so really well done to everyone involved.
"It's been really tough - when the gaffer told us the news it was really shocking for all of us and it has been hard to get over that shock really, he will be a big miss to this club.
"It is going to be virtually impossible to replace, but all my thoughts are with Jason and his family and I hope we made him proud today."
Vincent became the 16th different scorer for the club in the league this season with his strike this afternoon, being the first to react to Cedwyn Scott's rebound to smash the ball beyond Sam Howes and round off the perfect afternoon for the Magpies.
"Every time I come on I just wait for that opportunity to come, and today it presented itself in the best possible way.
"It bounced up perfectly and I believed in myself and I knew I was going to smash it home, buzzing!"
