Rushden & D 2-2 Forest Green

Lee Ayres equalised as Forest Green took a stride towards moving out of the relegation zone with a draw at out-of-form Rushden & Diamonds.

Alex Lawless struck from the edge of the area to put Forest Green ahead but Lee Tomlin quickly levelled with a free-kick that eluded everyone.

Michael Corcoran headed home Marcus Kelly's corner to put Rushden 2-1 up.

But Ayres headed home a corner and Forest Green are now only in the relegation zone on goal difference.
