Accrington 2-1 Forest Green: Aaron Pressley, Rosaire Longelo help Stanley out of bottom four
Saturday 4 March 2023 18:18, UK
Accrington moved out of the bottom four thanks to a come-from-behind 2-1 win over 10-man Forest Green Rovers.
Duncan Ferguson is still looking for his first league win as Rovers boss after seven games in charge as they remain rooted to the foot of the table.
They had led but after they went down to 10 men just before the break, their afternoon unravelled.
Forest Green started well and Stanley keeper Lukas Jensen pulled off two superb saves to keep out Corey O'Keeffe and Myles Peart-Harris before they took the lead on 22 minutes.
From a counter-attack, O'Keeffe charged forward, he passed to Brentford loan midfielder Peart-Harris who slid the ball under the body of Jensen for his sixth goal of the season.
