But it is a match that will likely only be remembered for the viral moment when Shrewsbury’s Tom Flanagan was dismissed in the 57th minute.

He was caught up in a penalty box melee and could be seen chucking Accrington’s Sean McConville to the ground in the dust-up.

Eventually the referee calls him over and dismisses him by showing him two yellows.

What the referee said as he delivered the bookings has left many fans amused.
