Shotton header seals victory

Ryan Shotton's header earned Tranmere their first away win in the league since February as they beat Huddersfield 2-1. Shotton, on a month's loan from Premier League Stoke, stole in unmarked to nod home Andy Taylor's inviting free kick and seal all three points. Huddersfield had gone ahead when striker Liam Dickinson curled a superb free-kick past Danny Coyne after being brought down by Taylor. Nathan Clarke saw a point-blank header tipped onto the crossbar by Coyne for Huddersfield, before Edrissa Sonko equalised. The Gambian international stunned the home faithful with an unstoppable right-foot volley from the edge of the area after Chris Greenacre's lay-off. Shotton's strike then gave Tranmere the initiative, and Chris Greenacre blazed wide after latching onto Shotton's through-ball.
