Jon Parkin has scored five goals in 14 appearances for Forest Green Rovers this season

Forest Green Rovers extended their lead at the top of the National League with victory over struggling Guiseley.

Guiseley had the better of the early chances, but Elliott Frear fired in Jon Parkin's cross to put the hosts ahead.

Parkin had a goal ruled out for a foul after the break, before he made it 2-0 from the penalty spot after Kurtis Guthrie was tripped by Gavin Rothery.

Substitute Aaron O'Connor volleyed in a third to ensure Rovers went five points clear of second-placed Cheltenham.

Forest Green assistant manager Jamie Day told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

Day on Forest Green v Guiseley

"The good thing is we're creating chances. Another three goals is a good ratio for goals for.

"If we're being really critical we could have scored more, but we'll keep taking three-nils.

"We've just got to be consistent, that's what this league is all about. If you can keep picking up points and you can bounce back when you've been beaten, hopefully you'll be there or thereabouts."
