Nott'm Forest 3-0 Cheltenham

Nottingham Forest kept up the pressure on the top two in League One with a convincing victory over Cheltenham.

Forest dominated for long periods and went ahead when Gary Holt started and ended a fine passing move by slotting in his first goal since November 2005.

Kris Commons had already hit a post and Forest doubled their lead when James Perch headed in Grant Holt's cross.

Substitute Nathan Tyson wrapped it up by slamming in a last-gasp penalty after Shane Duff fouled Luke Chambers.
