    Image: Michail Antonio: Scored in win at Tranmere

    Michail Antonio continued his scoring start to life at Nottingham Forest with the only goal of the game against Tranmere to see the Reds progress 1-0 to the second round of the Capital One Cup.

    Antonio, a recent arrival from Sheffield Wednesday, followed up a debut strike against Blackpool on Saturday to win the tie at Prenton Park, despite Michael Mancienne's red card after the break.

    Tranmere 0 Nott'm Forest 1 - Highlights

    Owain Fon Williams denied Antonio from the edge of the box early on but he was helpless when the winger headed home from Chris Burke's 12th-minute cross.

    Antonio then struck the crossbar after rising to meet Eric Lichaj's ball in before Michael Ihiekwe sent a header inches wide at the other end.

    Mancienne was sent off eight minutes after half-time when a studs-up challenge on Jason Koumas earned him a second yellow card.

    Tranmere defender Danny Woodards then rattled the Forest crossbar before Eliot Richards slid a 78th-minute shot agonisingly wide for Rovers.

    But that was as close as they came to an equaliser, with substitute Cole Stockton firing over the bar late on.
