A Craig Reid brace saw Newport come from behind to record their fifth win in a row and go second in the table.

Yan Klukowski put struggling Forest Green ahead with a shot from inside the box that had the hint of a deflection.

Robbie Matthews set up Sam Foley to level with a close-range shot, and was also the provider for Reid's first goal, left-footed from close range.

County sealed victory when Foley picked out Reid, who scored his ninth of the season off the inside of the post.

Newport are now unbeaten in 11 games, since going down on the opening day of the season at Darlington.
