Danny Carlton scored twice as Carlisle United came from a goal down to beat Bristol Rovers.

Rovers struck first when Rickie Lambert netted with a 15th-minute header from Craig Disley's cross.

But Carlton equalised, deftly nodding home a Marc Bridge-Wilkinson cross and Bridge-Wilkinson put Carlisle ahead with a sweet 18-yard strike.

Carlton's clinical shot wrapped up the points before Andy Williams' last-gasp breakaway goal made it 3-2.
