Morecambe 1 Crewe Alexandra 1: How the managers reacted

Morecambe boss Derek Adams and his Crewe Alexandra counterpart, David Artell, had differing views of the challenge that overshadowed Saturday’s draw at the Globe Arena.

Having seen Aaron Wildig’s goal cancel out Perry Ng’s opener for the visitors, honours were even deep into stoppage time.

Then, the Shrimps had a corner from which Crewe broke and Adam Phillips’ poor challenge sent Ng flying to the floor.

The Burnley loanee was given a straight red card with Artell seeing yellow for his conduct in the aftermath.

Artell was first to see the media afterwards and was an unhappy man at what he had witnessed.

“It’s one of the worst tackles I’ve seen in 20 years,” he claimed.

“If he thinks that’s appropriate then good luck to him, good luck to him, because it’s scandalous what he did.
