Tranmere's James Norwood now has four goals this season

National League leaders Forest Green suffered their second defeat in as many games as they were beaten by Tranmere.

The visitors started brightly and took the lead when James Norwood found Gary Taylor-Fletcher, who slotted home.

Norwood then met Lois Maynard's cross and his header flew into the top corner to double the lead.

Elliott Frear saw an effort well saved and Charlie Clough's header was cleared off the line as the hosts tried to get back into it but Tranmere held on.

Forest Green's lead at the top of the National League is now just a solitary point after the defeat, while Tranmere climb into the top five.

Forest Green Rovers boss Ady Pennock told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

"We were not good enough, they were miles better than us all over the pitch from the first whistle to the last. They won all the battles, all the second balls and the whole game was poor on our point.

"We're bitterly disappointed. We'll be working harder in training all next week, as there's an FA Cup tie that we want to try to win.

"When you give people the freedom of the park, they are going to hurt you and that's exactly what they did."
