Went out to celebrate passing my MSc & Hull City 3 - Tranmere Rovers 1

Tonight, I decided to have a night out in Hornsea to celebrate passing my MSc! After listening to Hull City beating Tranmere at Prenton Park on the Hull City World Site, so it could be automatic promotion here we come!

Hull saw off their closest rivals Tranmere Rovers with a 3-1 win at Prenton Park. Tranmere had the boost of an early goal, but the visitors levelled just before half time before two goals in seven minutes put them in the clear. It was a bitter disappointment for Tranmere who failed to deliver at a vital stage.

They were given the boost of an eighth-minute lead when Ryan Taylor fired home a 30-yard free-kick.

It became 1-1 in the 43rd minute. Kevin Ellison got the better of Ian Sharps and Ian Goodison after a long clearance and rounded Achterberg to net easily. Tranmere had a penalty appeal turned down right on half time when Eugene Dadi appeared to be tripped, but in fact he was booked for diving.

Hull went ahead on 63 minutes with a well placed left-foot shot by ex-Rover Jason Price after he was put clear by Allison. New signing Craig Fagan was introduced on the hour and cut inside from a Price pass to open his account with a left-foot effort. The crossbar denied Allison on 72 minutes with Price heading over from the rebound.

Tranmere finished strongly but could find no way through with City keeper Boaz Myhill making an important late save from Iain Hume.
