Wycombe Wanderers boss Gareth Ainsworth believes that Fleetwood’s equaliser should not have stood due to a ‘foul’ in the build up.
After a corner was swung in the Chairboys box, a huge goalmouth scramble followed.
This led to substitute Joe Garner lunging in on Alfie Mawson.
The ball then sat up nicely for Admiral Muskwe who smashed home his first goal for Fleetwood on his debut against his old club.

Speaking on the goal, Ainsworth said: “The goal that they scored…I don’t know how he has not given a foul.
“It was never a corner to start with, and he’s not given the foul and I am gutted because my players have grafted, grafted, and grafted and we deserve the points.
“With 10 men, we showed character and reliance that is built in Wycombe and I couldn’t be prouder of the boys.”

The boss also spoke highly of the traveling contingent that made the way up from Buckinghamshire to Lancashire.
Several hundred Wanderers supporters were heard in Highbury Stadium, and for large parts of the match, kept the home ends quiet.
Speaking on the support, he continued: “I’m also proud of the fans too as they didn’t stop singing throughout the game.

“They out sang Fleetwood for the whole 97 minutes and they played their part.
“I couldn’t thank them enough.
“I needed them and at the end, I was jeering them up because I needed them to keep the lads going.
“Apart from running on the pitch (and I am not advocating supporters going on the pitch by the way!), they did a lot for my boys today [September 3].”
