Tranmere Rovers return to top of League One with win at Hartlepool United

Tranmere return to top with win

Tranmere Rovers have returned to the top of the league one table following a win at Hartlepool United.

Both sides had chances in the first half but neither found the back of the net.

The league's bottom side looked like taking a vital home point before Peter Hartley gave away a penalty with just over 10 minutes to play.

Andy Robinson took the spot kick to give Tranmere the lead, with Cole Stockton adding a second deep into stoppage time.

The win restores Tranmere's two-point advantage over Sheffield United and Stevenage, while Hartlepool remain four points adrift at the bottom.
