Fleetwood Town 1-2 Cheltenham Town

Aidan Keena's first goal of the season earned Cheltenham a 2-1 win at relegation rivals Fleetwood.

Liam Sercombe put the Robins in front after half an hour but Ryan Graydon levelled for Fleetwood in the 79th minute.

Keena then fired in from close range after good work from Joe Nuttall on the left to end a 327-day drought and Fleetwood's six-game unbeaten run.

Cheltenham were the better side during a first half played in almost continuous rain on a heavy pitch.

Sercombe opened the scoring after a nod down from George Lloyd, switching the ball on to his left foot and curling into the bottom-left corner for his ninth of the season.

Cheltenham pushed for a second but it remained 1-0 at half-time and Fleetwood asked more questions of their visitors in the second period.

Bosun Lawal shot just wide in the 59th minute after Ryan Broom's pass and Graydon saw an effort parried by Robins goalkeeper Luke Southwood.

Promise Omochere set up the equaliser for substitute Graydon but Fleetwood were only on level terms for three minutes as Keena won it to take Cheltenham to within two points of Burton in 20th.

Good result for the winners but realistically with the other results today both are looking probable for the drop. Cheltenham treading water with these points and an awful day for Fleetwood

What an almighty kick in the sporran that was for Charlie Adam. Great result for Cheltenham and for football though as Fraudwood Town accelerate their return journey to the Lancashire Flat Cap League Division 9 (West).

Cannot disagree. On Radio Lancashire the listeners have for the last three months been subjected to a Charlie Adam love in.. Yet the club havent reduced the points gap since his appointment. Something the radio experts seem reluctant to acknowledge. I fully expected them to win today but am delighted the dirty. Money club lost..
