Tranmere manager Darrell Clarke declared the draw with Newport County "sickening" after the game, where a 90th-minute goal saw Tranmere Rovers draw 2-2.
The Rovers were almost on their way to their second win in three of their League Two games, but Shaquille Gwengwe stopped that with his second goal of the afternoon.
Tranmere won against Shrewsbury Town 2-0 on 15 August and drew with Port Vale 1-1 on 22 August.
While the equaliser was great news for Newport, Clarke wasn't happy with the late equaliser.
"It’s very much mixed emotions,” Clarke said after the game. “I’m raging with that first 45, if I’m honest, and raging that we’ve conceded the [second] goal from a set-piece, which was probably their only opportunity of the second half. It’s two points chucked away."
However, the Rovers manager reasoned the rival team deserved a point, as he said Tranmere were "nowhere near good enough" in the first half.
He praised the team for responding to Tranmere's play, and called the game a "frustrating afternoon".
He concluded, "We should be seeing that game out. The boys had earned the right to be in front and then to give that goal away at the end is sickening.”
Tranmere will next play Rotherham tonight at Prenton Park.
