Mansfield stayed in the automatic promotion race with a 4-0 win over struggling Forest Green.
A double from Ollie Clarke, as well as goals from Tom Nichols and Will Swan, helped the Stags to victory despite a resurgent first-half performance by Steve Cotterill's Rovers.
Mansfield took the lead after 11 minutes when Aden Flint cushioned a header into the path of the oncoming Clarke, who hammered home into the bottom corner from the edge of the area.
The visitors were almost gifted a second from a loose back pass but Clarke and Swan were both denied by Luke Daniels.
Nichols made it two when he ran on to Swan's pass before cutting inside and hammering an effort into the far corner after 69 minutes.
