English-Ghanaian forward Kirsten Otchere was on target as Cheltenham Town secured an entertaining 4-2 victory over Fleetwood Town in League Two. 

The Leicester City loanee scored Cheltenham’s second goal in the 25th minute, helping his side establish control during an impressive first-half performance at the Completely-Suzuki Stadium.

Cheltenham had taken the lead in the 17th minute through an own goal by Fleetwood goalkeeper Jay Lynch before Otchere doubled their advantage eight minutes later.

Jake Evans extended the hosts’ lead in the 39th minute, giving Cheltenham a commanding 3-0 advantage at half-time.

However, Fleetwood mounted a second-half fightback, with Ched Evans scoring twice in the 50th and 65th minutes, including a penalty, to reduce the deficit to 3-2.

Freddie Willcox eventually secured the victory for Cheltenham, scoring in the 80th minute to end Fleetwood’s hopes of completing the comeback.

The result provided a significant boost for Cheltenham, who will now turn their attention to their next League Two fixture against Newport County on October 24.

Otchere has made 11 league appearances for Cheltenham this season, scoring one goal as he continues his development during his loan spell from Leicester City.
