Danny Carlton rose highest to nod home an 84th minute Kevin Gall corner against Tranmere tonight, giving United another well-deserved 1-0 victory on their travels.

Eric Kinder told us: "The first half was as good as the Reserve side have played all season. It was an excellent performance, and we deserved the goal and the three points."

We'll have full reaction from the Reserve coach tomorrow.

Team - Howarth, Arnison, Wordsworth, Reid, Campion, Gall, Joyce, Thirlwell (Tinnion 60), Hindmarch, Madine, Carlton. Subs - Carson, Duffy, Aldred, Cook.
