Saturday 18 August 2018 18:56, UK
Morecambe remain rooted to the bottom of the Sky Bet League Two table after losing 1-0 to Stevenage at the Lamex Stadium.
A 25-yard curling effort from Michael Timlin was enough for Boro to secure back-to-back home victories in a dominant display.
Morecambe almost broke the deadlock early on through Kevin Ellison, who drew good saves from Paul Farman after he beat the offside trap twice in quick succession.
But on the stroke of half-time, Stevenage took the lead.
Emmanuel Sonupe's cross fell to Timlin outside the box and the midfielder fired into the top corner to bag his first goal for the club.
The second half started as scrappy as the first finished, with Ellison firing high and wide for the visitors.
Morecambe struggled to break down a resolute Stevenage, with their best effort coming from a Liam Mandeville free-kick which fell just wide.
Kurtis Guthrie, Scott Cuthbert and James Ball all went close for the home side, but despite the missed chances Boro saw the game out to secure all three points.
