Cheltenham Town 0-2 Fleetwood Town: Cheltenham equal record of 11 goalless games

Cheltenham's last league goal came on the final day of last season

Goals from Junior Quitirna and Jack Marriott earned Fleetwood a 2-0 win at 10-man Cheltenham Town, who equalled an English Football League record by failing to score for an 11th successive match.

The bottom-placed Robins were under new boss Darrell Clarke's leadership for the first time, against the team directly above them in the table.

But Quitirna curled a free-kick into the bottom corner from 20 yards in the 19th minute to set Lee Johnson's side on their way to a second successive victory.

Cheltenham were close to ending their drought in the fifth minute when Jovan Malcolm's shot from 12 yards hit the post and Sean Long's follow-up attempt flashed wide.

Curtis Davies saw a header gathered on the line by Jay Lynch 10 minutes into the second half - but the veteran defender was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Ryan Broom in the 70th minute.

Will Goodwin rolled a shot past the post five minutes later, but Fleetwood added their second in the 80th minute.

Jayden Stockley's effort rebounded off the bar and Marriott reacted quickest to tap in from close range.

Cheltenham also became the first side in EFL history to lose their first five home league games of a season without scoring.
