Park boss Ben Luntley felt the sending off of Codling altered proceedings.

“It could have gone either way,” Luntley said.

“The sending off didn’t help. It was a very harsh second yellow, he went down but got straight up and didn’t appeal, he was playing well up until that point.”

As well as singling out the performance of Codling, Luntley also praised the efforts of Jack Hakings.
