Cheltenham Town 3-2 Northampton Town
- Published
Transfer-listed striker Terry Gornell's brace helped Cheltenham sink Northampton and end a seven-match winless run in League Two.
Gornell opened the scoring from the floor after his initial effort was blocked, but Joel Byrom equalised after the break with a neat finish.
Gornell headed in from a Matt Richards free-kick and substitute John Marquis made it 3-1 against his old club.
David Moyo set up a tense finish by heading in but the Robins held on.
Cheltenham Town manager Mark Yates told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:
"It was a massive win, we needed three points. We needed the players to show a bit of spirit and character and we got that.
"They'll be up there at the end of the season, fighting for those play-off spots and we've beaten them.
"Every time Eusebio got the ball he was threat for us, and we created some really great chances in the first half."
Northampton Town manager Chris Wilder tells BBC Radio Northampton:
"I don't understand how up and down we can be with our quality at the top of the pitch, especially with our final pass.
"But we can't give away daft free-kicks. We're chasing the game and we're naïve - we have ability but we're too up and down with it and that concerns me.
"I don't want to do consolidation (this season). We want to aim to get out of the league."
