Joel Colwill struck in the 89th minute to secure Cheltenham victory at home to Tranmere in League Two.

The Cardiff loanee fired a shot across goalkeeper Luke McGee and inside the bottom left corner for his sixth goal of the season.

The first half was cagey, with neither side able to create much in the way of clear-cut chances.

Robins defender Sam Stubbs blocked well from Luke Norris in the seventh minute and goalkeeper Joe Day collected a header from Omari Patrick five minutes later as Tranmere threatened.

Day parried well from Patrick in the 14th minute before Colwill went down in the box looking for a penalty at the other end but his appeals were ignored.

Colwill then fired two efforts off target and he also had the ball in the net before half-time, but the offside flag was raised.

Cheltenham winger Jordan Thomas saw a shot blocked by Connor Wood early in the second half before Norris forced Day into another diving save in the 58th minute.

But with the game seemingly heading for a stalemate, Colwill – the game’s outstanding player – had the final say to secure the Robins' sixth win of the campaign.
