Grays scored twice in 50 second-half seconds to come from behind and beat Forest Green 2-1.

Rovers took the lead in the 25th minute when Stuart Thurgood handled a cross and the league's top scorer Andrew Mangan slotted the penalty home.

Athletic's Marcus Palmer hit a post before Thurgood levelled, striding on to a loose ball to net from 12 yards out after a corner was not dealt with.

And Tyrone Berry scored moments later, volleying home Jamie Slabber's cross.
