Hereford 2-2 Tranmere

Hereford fought back twice to earn an entertaining draw against Tranmere.

Edrissa Sonko took the lead for Rovers as he slotted home a low drive but Toumani Diagouraga equalised just before the break with a rising shot.

Buoyed by the goal, Hereford pushed on but it was Sonko who struck again on the hour mark, rifling in from just inside the penalty area.

It took Hereford four minutes to find a response, when Steve Guinan ran the ball past Danny Coyne from 18 yards.


Hereford manager Graham Turner told BBC Hereford and Worcester:

"Today's game and last week's game [at Huddersfield] have been good spectacles. That was a good game of football with plenty of excitement and some good football played by both sides.

"I thought that on the balance of chances created we should have won it, particularly in the second half.

"I'm disappointed by the manner in which we are conceding goals at the moment. With both goals I don't think Tranmere had to work too hard as they were basic errors."
