“All I was going off after the game was what he (Boden) said when he came off. He said ‘I never touched him’.

“I think the goalkeeper overreacted which was part of the problem.

They are both sliding sideways for the ball, but Boden does catch him so I just don’t think there is any point because I don’t think it will get overturned anyway so we will miss him.”
