Kurtis Guthrie's header helped Forest Green Rovers rescue a draw against Gloucestershire rivals Cheltenham and remain top of the National League.
The Robins took the lead against the run of play when Amari Morgan-Smith turned in George McLennan's cross.
David Pipe equalised by heading in from Keanu Marsh-Brown's free-kick, before Harry Pell put Cheltenham back ahead.
But Guthrie's late goal secured a draw which keeps Rovers three points ahead of the Robins at the top of the table.
