Tuesday 1 October 2024 23:00, UK
Second-half goals from Manni Norkett and Ryan Bowman helped Cheltenham hit back from behind to defeat bottom side Accrington 2-1.
Accrington had taken a deserved lead six minutes before half-time through Dara Costelloe, who capitalised on an error from Robins skipper Scot Bennett and slotted past Owen Evans and into the bottom left corner.
John Doolan's side had earlier threatened through Seamus Conneely and then Kelsey Mooney, whose header drew a fine save from Evans.

Cheltenham improved in the second half, with Nottingham Forest loanee Norkett's first senior goal making it 1-1 in the 69th minute.
The 19-year-old prospect fired in at the second attempt after his initial attempt was blocked on the edge of the box by Crellin following good work from Ethon Archer.
And Bowman's first goal since joining Cheltenham in the summer sealed the points, heading in Liam Kinsella's cross from the right 10 minutes from the end.
Evans made a superb save from Aaron Pickles in the final seconds and Stanley are still waiting for their first win of the season.
