Tranmere 0-1 Crawley: Tom Nichols' superb goal gets Reds back to winning ways
Reds' top scorer Nichols gave the visitors the lead on the 58th minute with an instinctive finish on the spin, after being found by George Francomb's cross, to finish off a slick team move.
Tranmere, who sit in fifth place in League Two, had ten shots in the game — two fewer than their opponents — but they were unable to find a way back to claim a fourth straight win.
