CITY moved up to third in League Two with their 2-1 win at bottom club Morecambe.
T&A chief sports writer SIMON PARKER provides the match facts and ratings from the Globe Arena.
MAN OF THE MATCH
Dylan Connolly always asked a question whenever he got the ball and was instrumental in the opening goal.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
Hope Akpan made it two in two when he fired home in front of a delirious away end to break the deadlock.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
City took too long to take control and left the first half drift without showing enough edge to their play.
TACTICS
Gary Bowyer made only one change as Adam Henley replaced the injured Kelvin Mellor at right back. James Vaughan was back on the bench.
REFEREE: Chris Sarginson (Staffordshire)
