I’m really proud of the boys,’ Trev began, speaking after the match. ‘We spoke about our spirit, and we knew that’s what was needed today. You can talk about tactics, but it’s the spirit, the mentality and the togetherness that really showed today. When we were 1-0 down in the first half, we supported each other and kept each other up. To come here and get a point against a very good side that’s in form at the moment is unbelievable for us, and I’m really happy for the team.
