Preview

Second-half goals from Zane Okoro and Dylan Jones helped Tranmere come from behind to salvage a point against a Shaquille Gwengwe-inspired Newport County side on Saturday. Rovers are unbeaten heading into gameweek four but have played their part in back-to-back stalemates.

Rotherham were dealt a late blow from the penalty spot on Saturday afternoon when Liam Mandeville equalised in the 88th minute, but Paul Mullin struck back two minutes later to seal a much-needed home victory. The Millers are now unbeaten in two games after the triumph over Chesterfield.
