A late goal from Ricardo Rees gave Forest Green a 2-1 win at Worthing.

The hosts went ahead after just two minutes when Ramell Carter’s shot was tipped on to the crossbar by Rovers keeper Ethan Ross, leaving Teddy Jenks to head into an empty net against his former club.

But Rovers equalised in the 57th minute after a defensive error when Josh Osude got to an under-hit backpass before Worthing keeper Harrison Foulkes.

Rovers boss Robbie Savage was booked before Rees nabbed the winner six minutes from time after he was set up by Osude.
