Super Cooper gets new boys off mark
FOREST GREEN snatched a 4-3 win from two goals down at home to Yeovil for their first ever Football League win.
Olufela Olomola opened for the Glovers in the ninth minute before Otis Khan doubled Yeovil’s lead from the penalty spot, with Christian Doidge reducing the arrears with a header.
Francois Zoko restored the visitors’ two-goal cushion, only for Reece Brown to make it 3-2.
Charlie Cooper brought Rovers level early in the second half and grabbed the winner with 11 minutes left.
A stunning long-range strike from
Donal McDermott gave leaders Swindon a
1-0 win at Morecambe, while Reuben Reid scored the only goal as Exeter claimed a
1-0 win against Lincoln.
A see-saw battle at Wycombe saw Notts County run out 4-2 winners.
Richard Duffy headed the opener and Adam El-Abd could do nothing as Luke O’Nien’s attempted clearance hit him and went in to double the visitors’ lead.
Wycombe hit back when Nick Freeman smashed home and it was all square after 68 minutes when Joe Jacobson curled in a superb free-kick. But the fightback was in vain as Jonathan Forte and Lewis Alessandra sealed the win.
Luton eased to a 3-0 win against Colchester, with Olly Lee stabbing in the opening goal and James Collins making it two, with Dan Potts sealing the victory.
Newport were 1-0 winners at Coventry as keeper Liam O’Brien allowed a Reece Cole shot to squirm over the line, and Jabo Ibehre’s tap-in was enough to condemn Crawley to a 1-0 defeat against Cambridge. Chris Porter scored the only goal as Crewe beat Barnet 1-0 and Billy Kee (above) struck in stoppage-time, earning Accrington a 2-1 win at home to Mansfield after Lee Angol had cancelled out Kayden Jackson’s opener.
Danny Newton set Stevenage on their way to a 3-1 win against
10-man Grimsby, while Tom Miller sealed a convincing 3-0 success for Carlisle against Cheltenham.
Jordan Sinnott scored one and made another as Chesterfield eased to a
2-0 win against Port Vale. NATHANIEL MENDEZ-LAING kept Cardiff at the top of the Championship table as his second-half strike maintained their perfect start to the season.
Joe Ralls pounced to give Cardiff a deserved lead in the 54th minute but Wolves looked to have rescued a point when Leo Bonatini levelled the scores.
However, Mendez-Laing, who started his career at Molineux, secured the points for Cardiff with an emphatic finish 13 minutes from time.
The Bluebirds were unfortunate not to break the deadlock in the first half when Wolves keeper John Ruddy turned away a fierce low drive from Junior Hoilett in the 16th minute.
