Jarvis delivers for Wolves
The FA Cup third round tie looked to be heading for a replay after Jarvis had side-footed wide from seven yards in the first half and Rovers’ Terry Gornell fired into the side-netting having gone round goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey after the interval.
However, 13 minutes from time Nenad Milijas threaded a brilliant ball between Tranmere’s two central defenders and Jarvis ran on to hit a first-time shot past Luke Daniels. The win ensured Wolves avoided an upset and reached the fourth round – where they will face Crystal Palace – for the eighth successive season. Sub-zero temperatures at kick-off meant the Prenton Park pitch was only going to become more treacherous as the night went on and it took until the 17th minute for either side to create anything resembling a chance.
