and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Russian Hepburn-Murphy gave the hosts the lead on the verge of half-time with a sublime strike that hammered into the far corner.

The visitors looked the more likely to find a late winner but Reds held firm and the game ended all square with both sides taking a point each.
Speaking on the performance, Trueman, who has returned on an emergency loan from Millwall, said: “it was a great point, first and foremost, they’re obviously a top side, and they're going to be expected to be right up there come the end of the season.
“It's definitely a good point,” he said. “I feel the game toed and froed, they had their periods and we had our periods, and the draw is probably a fair result at the end of the day. Towards the end, we had our backs to the wall and I thought the lads were excellent at putting bodies on the line, headers, tackles, you know, doing everything we could to observe the point.”

He said: “There's probably mixed feelings in there.When you do go two-one up, you back yourselves to be able to see the game out. Obviously, we conceded pretty much straight away, which is disappointing. So like I said, there's mixed feelings but it's a good point.”

Trueman spoke highly of his performance and was happy to contribute to a positive result.

“ So I knew it was going to be a case of trying to help out when I could making good decisions, not forcing it. There was a couple of good crosses in there, dealing with balls into the box, a couple of good saves. I was just pleased that I was able to contribute to a positive result in the end.”
Reds also have two huge away games against Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL trophy and their league game against Bristol Rovers next weekend.
Trueman spoke about the importance of momentum for the fixtures ahead. He said: “ I think momentum is huge in football.We see it all the time. Teams go on runs both positive and negative. So when you're on a positive run then you have to make that last.
