After a dominant display from Pools failed to yield a goal, Tranmere’s Tom Davies popped up in the 89th minute to head home from Josh Hawkes’ corner to claim all three points for the hosts.
It’s Pools’ second away defeat of the season as they now look ahead to next weekend’s home match against Bristol Rovers.

8. Mark Shelton - 7
Was full of energy in the midfield and got into some promising areas but little came off for him in an attacking sense.
