Bury 4-1 Cheltenham: Thrashing lifts in-form Shakers back to top six

Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two clash between Bury and Cheltenham.

Bury moved back into the League Two play-off positions thanks to a well-deserved 4-1 win over Cheltenham.

The in-form Shakers have now scored 22 goals in their last six games in league and cup. Bury's Jay O'Shea was thwarted early on when his curling free-kick was saved at the second attempt by Scott Flinders.

The hosts struck first when defender Chris Stokes tapped in from close range following a neat low cross from Danny Mayor.

It was firmly against the run of play when the Robins hit back 11 minutes later, Chris Clements confidently nodding home Jordon Forster's right-wing cross.

Bury regained the lead when Nicky Maynard swept home from 12 yards after he latched on to a measured low cross from O'Shea.
