Forest Green come from behind to beat Crawley
Posted Sunday, October 29, 2023 by PA
Forest Green moved three points clear of the relegation zone with a 2-1 comeback win over Crawley.
A Callum Morton double cancelled out Ronan Darcy’s opener to give Rovers only a second home win of the season.
The hosts had James Belshaw to thank for a string of fine saves to help Forest Green to all three points.
Crawley led when a short corner routine found Darcy in space before he drove a low effort that hammered in off the post on seven minutes.
Rovers found a leveller on 27 minutes when the impressive Morton shifted into a yard of space in the penalty area and fired under Town goalkeeper Corey Addai.
Morton doubled his tally seconds before the break when he ran onto a Kyle McAllister flick-on and calmly slotted home to give Rovers a first-half lead.
Forest Green goalkeeper Belshaw made a superb reaction save to deny Klaidi Lolos’ deflected effort on the hour-mark.
Forest Green came close to adding a third when he forced Addai into a fine diving stop but there were no more goals.
