Forest Green secured their first win in seven games with a 3-2 comeback victory over Scunthorpe United.

Jimmy Ball brought back club captain Chris Stokes into the starting line-up - with two changes to the side from the Walsall defeat, as Dom Bernard slotted into a midfield role.

Rovers started the game brightly - and took the lead from Ebou Adams' whipped ball into the box. Fresh from scoring his first FGR goal last weekend, Jordan Moore-Taylor arrived in the area to nod the ball beyond Rory Watson.

But moments before the break, Neil Cox's side levelled proceedings from their first corner of the match. George Taft won the ball in the air, before it pin-balled around the penalty area - allowing Harrison McGahey to sweep home his first senior goal.

Scunthorpe had their tails up - and just seven minutes into the second half put themselves ahead for the first time in the match. Abo Eisa worked the ball on the edge of the penalty area, before cutting onto his stronger foot and burying the ball into the net beyond Luke McGee.

Much like their fast start to the match, Rovers were hungry - and coming for another goal. Nicky Cadden showed his crossing prowess with an inch perfect ball for the run of Adams - who nodded his effort home.

The pair combined again moments later when replacement referee Dean Treleaven awarded a penalty for a foul on Adams. Scotsman Cadden stepped up to take spot-kick - but Watson was on hand to pull off a superb stop to deny him.

There was so much fight and belief in this FGR side. So much so, they found their winner. After Cadden sent a corner into the penalty area, Baily Cargill's effort was saved remarkably by Watson once again - before Chris Stokes tapped the ball in at the back post to secure all three points.
