Gillingham midfielder Shaun Williams with a goal and an assist in 2-0 win over Tranmere Rovers

Manager Neil Harris hailed Gillingham midfielder Shaun Williams’ phenomenal performance in their 2-0 win over Tranmere.

Williams headed in Gills’ opener on Saturday and then showed real desire to get a cross in for the second goal late in the game - pounced upon by fellow Irishman Conor Masterson.

Harris brought Williams back into Gills' starting eleven against Tranmere after managing the 36-year-old’s minutes and using him off the bench at Stockport in midweek.

Williams’ performance went hand in hand with the team’s, easing his way in before becoming totally dominant against a Tranmere team who had enjoyed some good results prior to their subdued showing at Priestfield.

It was Williams who played a key role in winning the game.

“Shaun Williams’ performance second half was phenomenal,” said his manager. “Considering his age, the travelling he has done this week, that performance and result vindicates me as a manager making changes over the course of the week.”

Morning, @shaunywilliams6!
