Ref Lee Mason had no second thoughts about pointing to the spot after a Zabaletta nudge in Yoshida’s back but at best it was a very soft penalty to give.
Gold was quickly off the mark to deliver a “just not our day” verdict on a day when the footballing gods all conspired aganst the Irons.
He said:”Not our day, Reid injured in the warm up Marko sent off, soft penalty to lose the game. Great fight back to 2-2 great fans. dg”
The fans were in fact quite extraordinary and totally out sung the home supporters who spent a hghly nervous last 45 minutes as the Irons battled back to 2-2 before that controversial penalty.
