Referee forced off with injury as Burton and Wycombe share the spoils

Burton and Wycombe shared the points from a 0-0 draw at the Pirelli Stadium.

The second half was halted around the hour mark when referee Neil Hair collided with Wanderers Luke Leahy and was unable to continue, replaced by fourth official Richie Watkins.

And despite the action picking up after that, neither side was able to find a winner.

In a rare moment of first-half action for the goalkeepers, Wycombe’s Will Norris was forced into a save low to his right to keep out a shot from Julian Larsson.

When play resumed after the change of officials, Albion almost caught Wycombe cold when Toby Sibbick thundered a shot against the post.

Wycombe substitute Donnell McNeilly tested Brad Collins with 15 minutes to go as the Burton goalkeeper awkwardly palmed the ball around his post and Jake Beesley went close at the other end, heading just over from Sulyman Krubally’s cross.

Krubally, on his full league debut, was then sent sprawling in the box by Fred Onyedinma’s clumsy challenge, with replacement referee Watkins waving away appeals from Burton’s players.
