T&A chief sports writer SIMON PARKER has all the match stats and player ratings.

MAN OF THE MATCH

Billy Clarke looked a class above at times with his clever use of the ball and intelligent play to find himself space. Great control and lay-off for City’s winner.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH

Tyler French delivered a precise cross and Lee Novak got across his marker to glance home the header to being the fightback.

MOAN OF THE MATCH

The defending for the Stevenage goal was awful – all four involved were culpable for not dealing with it.

TACTICS

City made three changes from Forest Green – two enforced with both O’Connors suspended. Levi Sutton came in for his first league appearance on the right of midfield while Ben Richards-Everton returned at the back.
