Marcus Kelly scored twice as Forest Green extended their unbeaten home league run with a win over Aldershot.

Kelly gave the hosts the lead after 12 minutes, firing in from the edge of the area following a set-piece move.

Aldershot drew level before the break when Jordan Roberts headed home Chris Barker's corner but Rovers regained the lead when James Norwood set up Kelly for a cool finish in the penalty area.

Norwood then slotted home in the last minute to secure all three points.

"It was just a very pleasing performance all round and obviously the result was massive.

"I don't want wholesale changes because the changing room's very, very good - if we can get one or two new faces in, that'll be great - but if not we'll have to see until the end of the season.

"I was pleased with James Norwood - he works his socks off - I thought his role today was first class."

Aldershot boss Andy Scott told BBC Surrey:

"We lost because we weren't good enough, pure and simple. We let them dominate the game and there wasn't the real desire in the box to get on the end of crosses.

"The two young lads unfortunately got dominated by their front two and that's the difference at this level.

"It was too easy at times for them and we started chasing the game for no reason. Every time we attacked we looked like we were going to concede. It's disappointing because that's not us and we need to pick up our away form."
