Johnson earns Glovers away win

Yeovil came away from Prenton Park with a 1-0 League One victory over Tranmere on Saturday.

Admission was reduced to £5 for the encounter but it was hardly value for money as both sides lacked firepower and defences generally held the upper hand. The visitors won it, though, thanks to a flash of magic from Oliver Johnson in the 77th minute which sealed a narrow triumph. Chances were few and far between in the opening period. Lateef Elford-Alliyu struck the side-netting with Rovers' best effort while a deflected Paul Huntington strike for Town was saved comfortably by Tony Warner. Tranmere failed to test visiting keeper Stephen Henderson until the hour mark when he turned aside a power strike by Elford-Alliyu. Both sides made changes to try and liven things up. And Tranmere had a great chance in the 74th minute but Enoch Showunmi missed the target with Henderson off his line. At the other end Johnson fired wide but then made amends with a superb 77th-minute lob from fully 25 yards after Michael Kay had failed to control a headed clearance by keeper Warner.
