Jordan Roberts scored the only goal as Stevenage edged past managerless Cambridge to move back into the play-off places in Sky Bet League One.<\/p>\n

Roberts put the hosts in front 10 minutes before the break, firing past U\u2019s goalkeeper Jack Stevens from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n

But Stevenage\u2019s opener could have come earlier had it not been for Stevens saving Cambridge on two occasions.<\/p>\n

The first stop came after Jamie Reid raced away before Kane Hemmings\u2019 header forced Stevens to parry a second chance.<\/p>\n

Boro finally took the lead when Roberts collected the ball and struck on the swivel for his fifth league goal of the season in the 35th minute.<\/p>\n

Cambridge, who saw manager Neil Harris depart for Millwall last week, managed to get a foothold in the second half and Jack Lankester hit a volley just over the crossbar.<\/p>\n

But Stevenage held on for a vital boost to their play-off hopes, reclaiming a place in the top six after a second successive 1-0 home win.<\/p>\n
