Coventry 0-1 Tranmere: Corey Blackett-Taylor seals late win
Report and highlights as Tranmere climb out of the relegation zone with first away win of the season
Corey Blackett-Taylor struck a dramatic late winner as Tranmere stunned Coventry 1-0 with a smash-and-grab victory at St. Andrew's.
Blackett-Taylor punished Coventry's wasteful finishing when he hammered a stunning winner - Tranmere's first and only shot on target - home seven minutes from time.
Coventry dominated throughout but could not convert any of their 19 attempts on goal, with captain Matt Godden going closest when he struck the post in the second half.
And Coventry paid the price as Blackett-Taylor's strike condemned them to back-to-back League One defeats for the first time this season, while Tranmere moved out of the relegation zone and opened up a three-point buffer between themselves and the drop zone.
Coventry made three changes following the defeat to Rotherham as Michael Rose, Sam McCullum and Zain Westbrooke came in for Brandon Mason, Gervane Kastaneer and the suspended Kyle McFadzean.
Neil Danns, Oliver Banks and the suspended Connor Jennings dropped out of the Tranmere side as Micky Mellon handed starts to George Ray, Harvey Gilmour and Corey Blackett-Taylor.
It took just four minutes for Coventry to carve through struggling Tranmere's defence as Liam Walsh's lofted pass released Jordy Hiwula through on goal, but his sliced first-time volley nestled on the roof of the net.
