The Cod Army goalscorer, who had up until that point been a prize performer in a nip-and-tuck clash, paced towards the Wednesday dugout on his way to the tunnel and was seen to push all six-foot-plenty of Wednesday boss Darren Moore before sharing a shouting match with substitute goalkeeper David Stockdale – himself an impressive unit.

It remains to be seen whether any further action will be taken against the right-back, who was seen throwing a foul-mouthed volley of abuse at the fourth official.
