Bristol Rovers scored twice in quick succession late on as they came from behind to sink struggling Cheltenham in a dramatic west country derby.

Ashley Vincent's shot put Cheltenham ahead on 10 minutes shot, but Lambert equalised with a near-post finish.

Lloyd Owusu's shot made it 2-1 to the visitors, but substitute Darryl Duffy netted a rebound after Lambert's header was parried with five minutes to go.

And Lambert then netted his 20th of the season with a shot to win the match.
