Ash Taylor reduced the deficit but Rovers are now just one point above the relegation zone.

Tranmere manager Ronnie Moore told BBC Radio Merseyside:
"We said that their strength would come from set-plays, but we gave away so many soft free-kicks. For the first goal, the defending was awful.
"Then I thought we grew in confidence as the game went on.
"With it 1-0 at half time, you're thinking you've still got a chance and we get done on the counter-attack for the two goals. We kept going, got ourselves a goal, but it wasn't to be."
