    Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Tranmere Rovers and Grimsby Town.

    James Vaughan scored a first-half brace as Tranmere made it three Sky Bet League Two wins on the bounce as they put Grimsby to the sword in a 5-0 victory at Prenton Park.

    Under the stewardship of caretaker boss Ian Dawes, the home side blew away the Mariners as they raced into a four-goal lead inside 34 minutes.

    First Vaughan headed home a Corey Blackett-Taylor cross after 10 minutes before Peter Clarke converted from a yard out after 27 minutes when his initial header had been saved.

    Less than a minute later, Rovers were three ahead as Vaughan smashed home his second of the match from the penalty spot following Luke Waterfall's tackle on Blackett-Taylor in the box.

    And 11 minutes before the break, the game was all over as Otis Khan drifted past two Grimsby defenders before finding the net from 18 yards.
