Finley Munroe's late goal ensured Swindon stay joint top of League Two

A last-gasp wonder strike from Finley Munroe clinched Swindon's first win for over a month as they beat Tranmere 2-1 to stay joint top of League Two.

After the left-back's cross was cut out he drove at the box and let fly with his right foot into the far corner in the third minute of stoppage time.

Tranmere edged a nervous first-half. Connor Ripley did well to save Connor Jennings hard strike from an acute angle from point-blank range.

Seconds before the break Joe Murphy reacted smartly to tip over a dipping Darren Oldaker free-kick.

Town opened the scoring in the 74th minute with a quick counter when Ollie Palmer blasted home the rebound from Princewill Ehibhatiomhan's effort.

James Ball nearly doubled the lead with a low volley but Murphy scrambled across just in time.

Rovers levelled after a weak clearance landed right in the path of Jayden Joseph who struck a post with a fierce shot before Kristian Dennis followed up to slot home in the 88th minute.

But Aston Villa loanee notched Munroe notched his first ever EFL goal to bag the win.
