SHAY McCartan made Clinton Morrison eat his words with his superb free-kick after the Sky Sports pundit had jokingly compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo in the build-up.

The substitute earned the Bantams a point at League Two leaders Swindon with his late equaliser in the 1-1 draw.

Morrison, who was covering the game in the Soccer Saturday studio, mocked McCartan in saying: "He's placed the ball like Ronaldo does. I don't think he's going to take it as well as he does. He might make me eat my words."

And seconds later the City ace left Morrison eating humble pie, with the pundit admitting: "It was like Ronaldo!

"Who needs Ronaldo when you've got Shay McCartan!"

The clip on social media went down well, receiving 1,600 'likes' on Soccer Saturday's official Twitter feed by mid-afternoon on Sunday.
