Aman Verma scored two, including a late winner, as Kidderminster Harriers twice came from behind to beat Forest Green.

Lee Hughes nodded in against his former club to give the hosts the lead, only for Verma to level with a firm header.

James Norwood put Forest Green back in front from close range but Jack Byrne headed home Jared Hodgkiss's cross to make it 2-2 at the break.

Verma then had an effort disallowed for offside before firing in a late winner from six yards following a corner.

Forest Green assistant manager Dave Kevan told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

Kevan on Forest Green v Kidderminster

"We're creating a lot of chances and we need to convert them, but at the same time we've got to be defensively tighter and meaner back there - we'd have had to score four goals to win - and that doesn't happen very often.

"We never really sustain our pressure in games and take those opportunities at the other end to give our defenders that bit of respite, but we've got to expect teams to come in to games and have spells, whether we're at home or not and we've got to deal with those spells better.

"We've got to put this behind us now and thankfully we've got another game in 48 hours."
