CITY were frustrated by Scunthorpe's 10 men as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw despite dominating at Glanford Park.
T&A Chief Sports Writer SIMON PARKER gives all the match stats and player ratings.
MAN OF THE MATCH
Harry Pritchard saw plenty of the ball as Scunthorpe camped deep and his corner delivery was good. His cross led to Paudie O’Connor’s equaliser.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
Matty Lund could have no argument with the reckless lunge that injured City midfielder Matty Palmer.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
How did Clayton Donaldson miss that header? An equaliser right before half-time would surely have put City on the way to another comeback win.
TACTICS
Anthony O’Connor replaced the suspended Ben Richards-Everton as Gary Bowyer made only the one enforced change from the Carlisle win.
REFEREE: Rob Lewis (Shrewsbury)
