FOREST Green manager Ady Pennock delivers his post-match verdict after his side beat Southport 5-3 at the New Lawn today.

Rovers made it 10 unbeaten Conference matches to strengthen their play-off aspirations as they came from behind.

Earlier, Forest Green goalkeeper Steve Arnold produced a stunning one-handed penalty save to deny Richard Brodie, but from the resulting corner, David Fitzpatrick's curler looped over the tall stopper and in.

In-form striker Jon Parkin levelled from the spot and Aaran Racine and Kurtis Guthrie headed home Marcus Kelly deliveries to put Rovers 3-1 up at half-time.

Kelly's sublime free-kick and a Clovis Kamadjo's overhead kick made it 5-1 before Luke Foster and Connor McCarthy netted from close, but Rovers coasted home to remain fifth.

A full report, pictures and a video interview with Rovers’ captain Marcus Kelly will follow.
