Forest Green retained their unbeaten start to the season with a 2-1 victory at 10-man Altrincham in the National League.

Nick Haughton fired the visitors ahead with a fine free-kick after 27 minutes before Kahrel Azariah Reddin had Altrincham back on level terms just five minutes later.

However, Altrincham were reduced to 10 men around the hour mark when Tylor Golden was shown a second yellow card.

Ryan Inniss then headed home the winner from a corner for Forest Green as Robbie Savage’s table-topping side secured their eighth win from 11 games so far.

The victory keeps them three points clear of Rochdale, who have played two fewer matches, with Altrincham in 13th.
