Carlisle United 2-3 Tranmere Rovers

  • Published

James Vaughan's late winner snatched Tranmere Rovers a thrilling 3-2 win at Carlisle.

Keith Hill's side twice came from behind to clinch a memorable win as they moved within two points of the automatic League Two promotion places.

Josh Kayode got the hosts off to the perfect start when he finished off a fine team move, firing in Nick Anderton's third-minute cross.

But Kaiyne Woolery levelled proceedings in the 21st minute when the outnumbered Cumbrians failed to clear their lines.

Parity lasted just six minutes before Anderton restored Carlisle's lead with a thumping strike.

Vaughan pulled the visitors level for a second time when his floated cross from the left-hand side caught everyone by surprise and somehow went in.

The striker then proved his worth at the other end of the pitch when he cleared Kayode's powerful header off the line.

Paul Farman tipped a Woolery effort past a post after Aaron Hayden's misplaced back pass in the closing stages, but Vaughan poked home David Nugent's pass to snatch the points.
