Welling United earn late draw against 10-man Tranmere Rovers

Welling United pull out a late draw against 10-man Tranmere in the National League.

Welling United have taken a point late on against 10-man Tranmere Rovers in the National League's early kickoff.

Xavier Vidal was put in behind the Tranmere defence early on but the Welling forward was closed down quickly by Scott Davies, who smothered the attempt.

Rovers' Andy Mangan was denied just before the break, with the midfielder twisting and turning but his strike from distance was straight at goalkeeper Tom King.

Tranmere then took the lead just after half time after King failed to get a strong punch on a corner and the ball fell kindly for Lois Maynard, who headed the ball past several Welling defenders on the line.

The game took a turn in the final 15 minutes as Ritchie Sutton was sent off for an off-the-ball incident, and Welling turned up the heat on their illustrious visitors.

The pressure paid off in the final four minutes as Sam Corne smashed the ball home off the post from well over 30 yards and continued both sides' winless runs.

The result sees Tranmere stay in eighth position while Welling remain in the drop zone but rise to 21st.
