Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Accrington Stanley and Cheltenham

Cheltenham squandered the chance to go top of Sky Bet League Two as Charlie Warren scored a late double in a 2-0 win for Accrington.

On-loan Bolton striker Warren struck in the 78th and 87th minutes to inflict only a second league defeat of the season on the Robins, who had Charlie McCann sent off for a second yellow card in added time.

In the first half, Devon Matthews volleyed over while Alex Henderson's strike was tipped away by goalkeeper Wyll Stanway.

The Cheltenham keeper kept out a Stefan Mols effort with his foot and also pushed away a Joe Anderson strike before the break.

Stanley continued to press, with Josh Woods firing over from six yards in the 63rd minute before another Woods strike took a deflection to take the ball narrowly wide.

Stanley found a way through after 78 minutes when Connor O'Brien's deep cross found substitute Warren who controlled the ball and fired home.

It was his first League Two goal and his second came shortly afterwards. A Mols corner was not cleared and Warren pounced to make the three points safe as Town ended the game with 10 men.
