Despite a slow start due to a momentary crash, they came through to deliver the goods. And that's just the fans on Twitter, after it briefly went down during the beginning of the match at Nethermoor Park.

But after a slow start, new signing Hélder Costa came through to equalise, giving a strong start in his debut, while Mateusz Bogusz netted the winning goal.

@Jordan_Armo described him as "a classy little operator", while @timbrennan85 said his performance was "hopefully a sign of things to come".

Gary Devonport described the match as a "decent run out", writing: "Costa class. Shack class. Clarke playing with confidence. Klich steady away. Kalvin steady away. Davis steady. Bogusz grew into it."

@Dom_Fetch89 said: "Costa looked absolute quality tonight and it's easy to see why Bielsa has brought Ben White in. Looks very assured at the back and not afraid to run with the ball. Very impressive".
