Sutton kept pace with the Sky Bet League Two play-off contenders with a 2-0 win at Newport.
The hosts’ relegation fears have been eased in recent weeks by a five-game unbeaten run, but they were undone on home soil by a goal in each half from Coby Rowe and Alistair Smith.
Rowe bundled in the opener in the ninth minute after the Exiles failed to clear a corner, which they felt should never have been awarded.
Sutton goalkeeper Jack Rose denied Offrande Zanzala and Charlie McNeill midway through the first half before Priestley Farquharson headed against the post.
The home side continued to press for an equaliser after the break, but Sutton instead doubled their advantage against the run of play on 65 minutes.
