Hedley struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper.Grilled players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead.R.

57 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as A.
