      Marc McNulty is spot on for Coventry

      Marc McNulty's late penalty was enough to give Coventry their first win in five league games and boost their play-off hopes at promotion-chasing Wycombe.The Sky Blues will not care about the scrappy nature of the victory as they moved within three points of League Two's top seven, but it is back-to-back home defeats for the Chairboys.The match did not do much to warm anyone up in the early stages, with Coventry's Tom Bayliss sending a swerving long-range effort wide after 17 minutes.Neither goalkeeper was required much during a timid first half, although Lee Burge did have to be alert to stop Adebayo Akinfenwa's header from looping over him.Burge then just about managed to stop Nathan Tyson's shot on the turn early in the second half before McNulty had a good chance from Kyel Reid's cut-back deflected wide.Coventry's big opportunity came after 82 minutes when Bayliss was brought down in the area by Adam El-Abd and McNulty made no mistake, as he slammed his penalty past Scott Brown.

        Veteran Kevin Ellison rolls back the years as Morecambe stun in-form Wycombe

        Kevin Ellison scored twice on the day after his 39th birthday as struggling Morecambe tore up the form book with a 4-2 victory at promotion-chasing Wycombe.The Shrimps had not won any of their previous six games, but kept themselves five points clear of the relegation zone, while the previously in-form Chairboys slipped down to third.Morecambe were gifted an early lead when Nathan McGinley flicked Michael Rose's long throw away from his own goalkeeper, giving Adam McGurk an empty net to head into at the back post.There was nothing fortunate about the Shrimps' second goal, however, as Ellison smashed an unstoppable half-volley across goalkeeper Scott Brown and into the top corner.It got even better for the visitors as Ellison thumped in a far-post header from Gregg Wylde's cross before McGurk was allowed to cut inside and score to make it 4-0 after 52 minutes.Wycombe finally responded through a daisy-cutter from substitute Nick Freeman before Luke O'Nien's crisp volley left Barry Roche standing to pull a second back late on.
