"Morecambe Welcomes Burton Albion To The Football League" was the banner displayed by Morecambe fans before the match, but they perhaps wished that their defence had not been so charitable. Burton were ruthless in attack but left a gaping hole in front of the back four which Morecambe exploited well, scoring twice and hitting the woodwork the same number of times.
Greg Pearson celebrates his first goal
Perhaps a little unlucky to come away without a point, but Burton striker Greg Pearson pulled them apart time and time again, proving that he's not just a non-league star.
The referee was excellent throughout keeping control of a generally good natured match without showing a yellow card, but Morecambe's Duffy lost his head with a two-footed studs-up challenge on Paul Boertian in the closing stages earning himself a straight red in the process.
Sammy McIlroy said of his team, "We made Burton look like Barcelona."
Ole!
