Yeovil Town goal-scorer Terrell Works revealed how he followed the advice of his manager Billy Rowley as he grabbed a late winner to seal a 1-0 win at Altrincham today.
The 21-year-old came on as a 69th minute substitute after his boss had told him to go on and be a match-winner and just 18 minutes later he turned home the winner to grab the three points.
Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Josh Perkins after the match, the Fulham loanee said: “It was tough when I came on, I’ll be honest. They had us under pressure, but we got out of it in the last couple minutes and got the goal to win us the game.
“(The manager) literally told me ‘go on and get your goal and win us the game’ and that’s what I did.“
It was the youngster’s second appearance in green-and-white having appeared as a substitute in the second half of the 2-1 defeat at Brackley Town last month.
He was cup-tied for last weekend’s FA Trophy victory at AFC Telford United and admitted it was not easy to come off the bench and make an impact in a tightly-contested affair.
He said: “It was difficult coming on because I haven’t played in a while. So it was tough, but you just have to push through.“
