Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Cambridge and Forest Green.

Wes Hoolahan struck the decisive goal as Cambridge beat Sky Bet League Two promotion rivals Forest Green 1-0.

Cambridge missed a glorious chance to go ahead on 18 minutes when Paul Mullin was brought down in the box by Baily Cargill, but Mullin's penalty was turned onto the post by Forest Green keeper Lewis Thomas.

Had he converted it Mullin would have broken the U's record for league goals in an EFL season.

After 29 minutes it took a brilliant block to deny Hiram Boateng following Liam O'Neil's incisive through ball, but seven minutes before half time they did take the lead.

Hoolahan received Jack Iredale's pass and then skipped past Scott Wagstaff before firing low into the far corner.

Forest Green enjoyed sustained pressure after the break, with Callum Burton saving Aaron Collins' effort on 64 minutes after he was teed up by Jamille Matt.
