Fylde prevail over Forest Green after Harvey Broad brace

Harvey Broad netted a quickfire second-half brace as Fylde beat Forest Green 2-0 at home in the National League.

The 20-year-old, signed on a season-long loan from Coventry, broke the deadlock in the 65th minute and doubled his tally three minutes later.

It helped Fylde bounce back from Saturday’s dramatic 3-2 loss at Woking, who netted twice in the closing stages to snatch victory.

Forest Green, whose 100 per cent start to the season was ended by Boreham Wood at the weekend, went close through James Berry and captain Kyle McAllister.
