Accrington Stanley 0-1 Cheltenham: Match Report

Goulding sinks Stanley

Jeff Goulding scored the winner within seconds of coming on to make it five straight victories for Cheltenham following a 1-0 success at Accrington which pushed them into the automatic promotion spots.

The striker replaced James Spencer - who had been booked and was in danger of picking up another one - after 44 minutes. Moments later he collected Luke Garbutt's ball forward 30 yards out and looped the ball over the stranded Ian Dunbavin.

It was the Robins` first shot on target after Stanley had created the better chances.

Loan striker Will Hatfield had a fierce shot saved by goalkeeper Jack Butland and James Spray was denied from close range.

After the break, Alan Bennett had a shot cleared off the line for the visitors and Russell Penn could only find the side-netting in a breakaway as Cheltenham looked to get a two-goal cushion.

Stanley threw everything at Cheltenham in the last 10 minutes but the visitors held on for an important win.
