3 minutes added time. Dwyer must have said something (like you've given us nothing all night).
Its finished : Workington 2 Ilkeston 0.

It was a frustrating night for Ilkeston as decisions appeared to go against them. Apparently Anthony Dwyer was red carded for calling the ref a cheat. That will always get you a red but his frustration was perhaps understandable . Dwyer's disallowed goal at the start of the second half seemed to be particularly harsh as he appeared to have timed his run perfectly before slotting the ball home. The red card in the final minute came following a throw in given to Workington which looked like Ilkeston's.. Matt Baker's header against a post might have given Ilkeston a half time lead and Dwyer's disallowed effort would have put them two up. Having said that Workington did play well in the second half and put Ilkeston's defence under a lot of pressure. There could be no complaint about Workington's first goal but the second was another decision in their favour that the ball had crossed the goal line before being cleared.
