Barrow joint-manager Dave Bayliss thought his side were full value for their draw – and said that Luke Foster’s sending-off was not the turning point of the game.

“We deserved the draw,” he said.

“I thought Gregg Blundell was absolutely superb up front on his debut, he worked his socks off, and Marc Goodfellow also did well.

“Our lads stuck to their game plan, our midfield were excellent, and we played really well.

“The red card wasn’t the turning point,” he said. “They played better with ten men than 11.”
