Wycombe Wanderers ended their four-game winless run with a routine 2-0 victory over soon-to-be-relegated Forest Green Rovers.
The hosts started off straight out of the traps as a David Wheeler cross evaded everyone in the six-yard box after just 20 seconds.
Wanderers continued to produce an onslaught of attacks and the Forest Green pressure eventually gave in after just nine minutes.

🟦 1-0 🟩#Chairboys #FGR
Lewis Wing’s free-kick was headed across goal by Chris Forino which allowed Chem Campbell to nod home his third Chairboys goal to give Wycombe the lead.
The fixture became a midfield battle for large parts of the opening half but in the final 15 minutes, Forest Green started to play and nearly went into the break level.
A mistake from Joe Jacobson allowed Udoka Godwin-Malife through on goal, but Max Stryjek was on hand to deny what looked like a certain goal.
From the resulting corner, Harvey Bunker scored via a header but it was chalked off for a foul in the six-yard box.
The second period began just like the first, as it resulted in Wycombe scoring early on.

🟦 1-0 🟩#Chairboys #FGR
Another Jacobson set piece, this time from a corner, caused trouble in the Forest Green box, and Wheeler wheeled away in celebration after 51 minutes.
It was thought he had headed in his seventh of the campaign, but replays showed that the final touch came off Charlie Savage, son of Robbie, to double Wanderers’ lead.
Both teams rarely threatened for the first of the match, as Wycombe secured their third win under Matt Bloomfield – all three being 2-0 scorelines.
