Tranmere Rovers 1-2 Wycombe Wanderers
- Published
Wycombe Wanderers striker Matt McClure was sent off 70 seconds after coming on as a substitute as the League Two promotion chasers beat Tranmere.
McClure saw red in the 68th minute for appearing to hit Adam Dugdale as they challenged for a header.
Harrison McGahey's handball saw Paul Hayes put the visitors ahead from the spot before Jordan Hugill levelled.
Fred Onyedinma made it 2-1 and McClure was sent off before Sam Wood cleared an effort off the line to ensure victory.
On-loan Millwall striker Onyedinma latched onto Sido Jombati's neatly chipped ball to score his fifth goal in four games for third-placed Wanderers.
Defeat leaves Tranmere one spot above the relegation places, equal on points with 23rd-placed Cheltenham.
Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth told BBC Three Counties Radio:
"[The win] was a real testament to what we're trying, we said we're going for promotion and we're going to take risks and you've had it all tonight."
On Matt McClure's red card: "It was possibly the quickest sending off I've seen in my career.
"I put him on because Sam Saunders was flagging and within five seconds he's off and I'm a lot worse off than with Sam on the pitch.
"Matty was the first to say he couldn't believe he was sent off. But if you catch someone with your arm you're going to go, especially when you're away from home and the home fans make a meal of it."
