Wilson ran into the Lower Breck box and following an attempted clearance the ball bobbled past the diving keeper leaving Wilson will a seemingly open net, this left the keeper will no other option but to prevent Wilson reaching the ball by bringing him down. Unfortunately, this is not the series of events as viewed by the ref and a penalty was waved away.
