Forest Green catapulted themselves up to third in the early season table, posting their fourth-straight victory.
On a comprehensive New Lawn evening a sumptuous Charlie McCann free-kick put Steve Cotterill’s side in the driving seat before late goals from Jamie Robson and substitute Harvey Bunker sealed it.
