Salford 2-1 Cheltenham

Watch highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Salford and Cheltenham.

Substitute Hakeeb Adelakun scored a superb second-half brace to earn Salford a 2-1 home win over Cheltenham.

The Robins had taken the lead through Ethon Archer three minutes after half-time, but Adelakun played a starring role for the Ammies to seal their second win of the campaign.

Cheltenham looked the more threatening in the first period, with Joel Colwill and Luke Young both seeing efforts blocked in the box.

Jamie Jones flew to push away a well-stuck free-kick from Young in the 19th minute and Archer's shot was blocked by Tom Edwards as Salford were forced to defend their box well.

Jones denied Arkell Jude-Boyd in first-half stoppage time, but Archer was given space to put Cheltenham in front with an effort that curled into the top right corner for his first EFL goal.
