The boy could probably do with a lift after a difficult day so, with the benefit of Ifollow's match highlights, his 95th minute free kick was well-executed and goalbound forcing Westwood into a bit of a hash at the base of his near post. The gk could only parry it out for Mendez-Laing - no more than a couple of yards out - to square it for Bamba to force home.

Let's hope this court case gets settled quickly so Tomlin can be given his chance to start a few games. No doubt he is grateful to the manager for showing faith and eager to show gratitude.
