Two goals from captain Liam Prynn followed Luke Steer’s early strike as the Lambs moved up to 15th place in a congested league table, one that sees Tavi move three points above the relegation zone and to within seven of the play-offs, with games in hand.

“We started really well and Ben Steer did really well for the first goal – Luke Steer converted it – but once again, for whatever reason, we score the first goal and we just dropped off,” Henderson said. “I thought we were sloppy then for 10-15 minutes and they got the equaliser.

“We then got the penalty and it is probably the easiest penalty the referee will ever have to give, it was so blatant, then he gives another one (to Shaftesbury) which was minimal contact… I don’t know.
