In a game that was full of incident, a sending off, a penalty and five goals, Worthington was asked to leave the field of play following a comment he made to referee Phil Dowd.

"He asked me to go upstairs to the directors box after I mouthed a comment to him from the bench. I will pass on giving you my opinion of his overall performance.

"As for the game itself we just didn't start to play until after ten minutes, by which time we were 2-0 down. And even when they were 3-0 up I still thought we could get back into it.

"Their goalkeeper made some magnificent stops and we also missed a number of chances but I was happy that we battled to the end and could have snatched a point with a bit of luck.

Despite the loss we will bounce back like we did throughout last season."
