Elliott List brace helps Stevenage beat managerless Cheltenham
Posted Sunday, September 24, 2023 by PA
A second-half brace from substitute Elliott List ensured Stevenage continued their impressive start with a 3-0 win at managerless Cheltenham Town.
The Robins, who are yet to score this season, parted company with boss Wade Elliott in midweek and placed Kevin Russell in temporary charge.
It took Boro only seven minutes to pierce their defence when Dan Butler’s corner fell for Jordan Roberts in the box and he beat Luke Southwood with a low finish.
Jovan Malcolm smashed a shot against the bar for the hosts after Liam Sercombe’s pass in the 34th minute.
Aidan Keena fired a shot just over and Sercombe forced Krisztian Hegyi into a flying save before half-time as the Robins rallied.
But List made it 2-0 in the 69th minute after another Butler corner was not dealt with and he followed up to score his second in the 73rd minute after Southwood parried Ben Thompson’s shot from the edge of the box.
Cheltenham have now waited more than 13-and-a-half hours for a goal and never before has a team gone nine games without scoring at the start of a season.
