Shrewsbury Town 3-1 Morecambe
- Published
Shrewsbury made it five League One home wins in a row with a 3-1 victory over strugglers Morecambe.
First-half goals from Luke Leahy and Rob Street gave Steve Cotterill's side the advantage before Dan Crowley pulled one back for the Shrimps in first-half stoppage time.
Morecambe were denied a leveller when Farrend Rawson's 64th-minute header was ruled out for offside and Chey Dunkley completed the scoring with a header six minutes from time.
Leahy gave Shrewsbury the lead in the 33rd minute from the penalty spot after Crowley was adjudged to have handled a Tom Bayliss corner and Street doubled the lead with a close-range tap-in after Matt Pennington had flicked on another Bayliss set-piece.
Crowley pulled one back with a fine-placed finish from the edge of the box but the Shrimps' comeback hopes were dashed with Dunkley's late header.
