Gareth Evans scored on his 100th appearance for Fleetwood to earn a 1-0 victory at Gillingham.

Town striker David Ball's cross was parried by Gills goalkeeper Glenn Morris and Evans reacted fastest to slot home the 18th-minute winner. Evans was involved in another Town chance five minutes later but Ball fired narrowly wide at the end of a free-flowing move. Ball was denied in the 56th minute by a spectacular Morris save, before Gills defender Max Ehmer diverted his shot narrowly past the post seconds later. The Gills, who are now without a home win in four games , came closest when Luke Norris' low shot was deflected just wide by Steven Schumacher. Winger Jermaine McGlashan fired at Town goalkeeper Chris Maxwell following a quick break, and John Egan headed straight at Maxwell from five yards after he had only partially cleared Doug Loft's corner.
