Cheltenham 4-2 Fleetwood

Cheltenham ended a three-game losing run in League Two with a 4-2 home victory over Fleetwood.

The Robins led 3-0 at half-time, going in front after 17 minutes when Charlie McCann's corner was spilled into his own net by Fleetwood goalkeeper Jay Lynch.

Cheltenham doubled their lead when Lynch parried well to deny Jake Evans but fellow Leicester loanee Kirsten Otchere followed up for the first goal of his senior career in the 25th minute.

Fleetwood nearly responded less than two minutes later when Rhys Bennett's header hit the bar.

Cheltenham were celebrating again when McCann's incisive pass set up Jake Evans for his fourth goal of the season in the 39th minute.

Fleetwood boss Matt Lawlor sent on three substitutes at half-time and two of them combined to pull one back five minutes into the second half as Ched Evans nodded in Crispin McLean's cross.

Ched Evans converted from the penalty spot to make it 3-2 in the 65th minute after Shaun Rooney was fouled by Jonathan Tomkinson.

But Freddy Willcox touched in McCann's corner in the 80th minute to restore Cheltenham's two-goal advantage.
