Forest Green scored five second-half goals to overturn a two-goal deficit and win at 10-man Altrincham.

A Colin Little brace, the first a long-range strike, the second a volley, gave the home side a 2-0 half time lead.

A Paul Lloyd 18-yard strike and a David Brown finish brought Rovers level before Robins' James Smith saw red.

Alex Lawless scored from a corner, Conal Platt scored a penalty after a foul on Kaid Mohamed and Marcus Palmer slotted in as Rovers romped to victory.
