With Town having fought back from 3-1 down, Wall was introduced as a 74-minute substitute with the scores locked at 3-3.

And he admitted his 25-yard arching effort into the top right-hand corner was probably the best goal he had ever scored in open play.

He said: “I was just aiming for the target and luckily it went in today, probably I’ll do one next week and it’ll fly over! But luckily today it went in and we got the three points.”
