The Shrimps ended the year at the bottom of the Football League with a narrow defeat against Salford City.

Matthew Lund scored the only goal of the game at the start of the second half as the Shrimps' lack of goal threat came back to haunt them once again.

Morecambe manager Derek Adams made two changes to the side that beat Carlisle on Boxing Day. Marcus Dackers was unable to play against his parent club and Harvey Macadam was ruled out through injury, meaning recalls for Jordan Slew and Yann Songo'o.

It was the home side who started the game on the front foot with Curtis Tilt heading over a left-wing cross from eight yards out when he should have done better.

Then Jon Taylor was denied by a smart save from Harry Burgoyne.

The Morecambe keeper then produced a superb save on 34 minutes when Salford midfielder Ryan Watson had a free header in the centre of the goal and looked sure to score.

The Shrimps found chances hard to come by but almost took the lead on 43 minutes when Ben Tollitt crossed from the left, with Gwion Edwards inches away from sliding the ball home from close range.

The Shrimps found themselves a goal down two minutes into the second half. Liam Shephard crossed from the right and with all eyes on Cole Stockton, substitute Lund was left free to head past the helpless Burgoyne. Stockton had a chance to double the lead for the home side but curled an effort wide and Songo'o was forced into a goalline clearance from Kylian Kouassi in the final stages before the Shrimps ended the game on the front foot.

Adam Lewis came off the bench and delivered a string of crosses that were desperate for a touch, and Hallam Hope was bundled over in the box for what looked like a clear penalty but the referee waved the claims away.

Salford City: Young, Shephard, Tilt, Garbutt, Taylor (Negru 88), Ashley, Watson (McAleny 66), Luamba (Lund 45), Kouassi, Adelakun, Stockton (Berkoe 88). Subs not used; Jones, Edwards, Malcolm.
