Aldershot Town 0-3 Forest Green Rovers

Forest Green Rovers moved to the top of the National League table with a comfortable victory at Aldershot Town.

Darren Carter netted his first goal for the club, slotting home from the edge of the area.

Rovers doubled the lead shortly before the break when Kurtis Guthrie fired in from close range after good work from Keanu Marsh-Brown.

Carter later hit the woodwork, before Aaron O'Connor wrapped up the win by rifling a shot from inside the box.

Aldershot Town boss Barry Smith told BBC Surrey:

"If you look at the goals we conceded it was basic errors from us. The first one we weren't organised in that throw in, the second one our player did not match the runner and the third one we were the wrong side of the striker when the ball was headed in.

"I think we did get the ball down and pass it tonight, but you know sometimes you have to mix it up and we didn't do that enough in the first half. We became a bit predictable and that we never looked to get in behind and it made it easy for them.

"We did start on the front foot and it gives the fans, players and everyone a lift but you have to maintain that. We know the home form is good enough."

Forest Green assistant manager Jamie Day told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

"I thought we played really well first half - moved the ball well at times, created a lot of chances, just didn't take the ones that we did create until near the end of it, but I'm pleased to get three points.

"We need to be ruthless, that's something that over the last five games we've not done that and been on the wrong end of some results.

"It happened again in the first 30 minutes, but after that we took our chances and to come away and win 3-0 we're thoroughly pleased."
