'Gutted' Pete Wild slams 'absolutely ridiculous' penalty decision as Hartlepool United suffer agonising late defeat at league leaders Boreham Wood

Pete Wild admitted he was "gutted" after two late goals condemned Hartlepool United to an agonising 4-3 defeat to National League leaders Boreham Wood.
In one of the most remarkable contests in recent memory, Pools battled back from two goals down to take a 3-2 lead before strikes from Zak Brunt, a former National League title winner with Barnet, and Matt Rush, who bagged a hat-trick when the two teams last met in April, turned the game on its head for a final time.
Whereas the Wood, who have won 14 and drawn two of their opening 16 matches this season, extended their lead at the top of the table to a whopping 12 points, Pools slumped back into the relegation zone after Boston United beat fellow strugglers Scunthorpe United.
