Andy Mangan's late strike ensured back to back wins for Tranmere

Andy Mangan's late strike secured all three points for Tranmere against Cheltenham.

The striker had space to turn and fired in from 10 yards out to give the away side a victory in what was an even game for the most part.

Both sides had chances in the first half, with Cheltenham's Kyle Storer clearing off his goal line and then having an effort blocked by Matt Hill.

Amari Morgan-Smith had the ball in the net for the home side, but was offside.

The defeat was Cheltenham's second of the season, while sixth-placed Tranmere made it back-to-back wins in the National League.

Cheltenham Town boss Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

"We didn't look potent for whatever reason, we got in a couple of times but we didn't work the goalkeeper which was disappointing.

"I suppose the saving grace is that everybody else did get beat. It just show you that this isn't an easy league to win - the pack is getting a little bit tighter at the moment.

"You've got to score at least one or two of your chances, we created chances but we didn't really get in amongst them."
