New Meadow Park saw three goals in the first 17 minutes, with Poole taking the lead after just six minutes through a Shaq Gwengwe penalty.

Gloucester levelled just 10 minutes later from a Joe Hanks goal.

Almost instantly, Tigers scored their second with an Aaron Wildig half-volley on the edge of the box.

In the 60th minute, King Baidoo put the hosts 3-1 up before Poole’s substitute Henry Spalding’s 83rd minute strike gave the visitors hope. However, the hosts held on for all three points.

Afterwards Gloucester boss Williams said: “I was really pleased with that sort of bounce-back ability that the group showed today.”
