Tranmere 2-0 Stevenage: Rovers back to winning ways
Saturday 9 February 2019 20:29, UK
Tranmere ended a three match losing streak by comfortably beating nine-man Stevenage 2-0 at Prenton Park.
Goals in either half from Kieron Morris and James Norwood earned Rovers a well deserved three points following a dominant display.
Connor Jennings provided assists for both strikes, the first a clever clipped cross towards the back post that was deftly nodded into the bottom corner.
Visiting goalkeeper Paul Farman had a string of saves to make throughout the match, particularly after the break, as he denied Jennings, Jonny Smith and Norwood.
And the latter eventually got his goal, his 20th of the league season, by running on to a low pass, rounding the 'keeper and firing into the roof of the net from a tight angle.

Stevenage finished the match with nine men, with defender Ben Nugent the first to receive his marching orders when awarded a second booking for chopping Jennings down.
And then in injury time, substitute Elijah Adebayo, who had only been on the pitch for 22-minutes, picked up a straight red for elbowing Mark Ellis.
