Morecambe secured back-to-back wins for the first time this season as a 2-0 win against Cheltenham keeps alive their hopes of staying in the Football League.

The Shrimps remain second from bottom but clawed back points on Tranmere, with goals from Ged Garner and the in-form Lee Angol proving the difference.

Garner gave the home side the lead after 66 minutes, seconds after coming off the bench. He made the most of a lapse in the Cheltenham defence to score with a right-footed shot past Joe Day from eight yards.

Derek Adams’ side doubled their advantage nine minutes later when Angol made the most of an Ibrahim Bakare mistake to run through on goal and drill a cool finish past Day.

Matty Taylor went close to pulling one back for the Robins with a shot from the edge of the box that goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne tipped over in a rare second-half attack from the visitors.
