Sadler said: “Before the sending off, I felt there was only one team in the game, and that was us. “We moved it well on a tough pitch and got into good areas in the first half, which deservedly brought us the first goal. “The team showed who they are [after the red] in that they fight for each other and believe in each other to do their jobs. Sam [Hornby] made an incredible save soon after we got back level, and we held on well from that point. “I’m pleased for everyone to show the togetherness we have in the group to get something from this game, considering the circumstances.
