It was given to Mal Benning but Jimmy Spencer is claiming he got the final touch and the club are now awaiting the committee’s decision.
Boss Steve Evans said: “There are some really honest lads in that dressing room and they are saying Spencer got a touch. You can see the leg go out and you can see the flick.

“But I don’t care if was my Aunty Mary who got the goal!”
“If you’re Mal Benning you’re claiming it aren’t you? I think it was the only thing Mal did right in the 97 minutes we played.
“He didn’t have the best of games but he showed a real willingness and desire to get to the edge of the box – that’s the Mal we love, driving into forward positions.
“He shot and Jimmy just sticks out a little toe and the boys tell me he diverted it.

“If it was a winning goal my Aunty Mary can sign for us! If she’s a regular goalscorer we’ll get Aunty Mary in!”
