Sam Finley jokes about teammates' ulterior motives for claiming Bristol Rovers' goal at Swindon

Sam Finley joked teammates Aaron Collins and Connor Taylor had ulterior motives when claiming they scored Bristol Rovers' goal at Swindon Town on Saturday.

The Gas secured a hard-fought point on the road after cancelling out Tyreece Simpson’s 16th-minute strike with an equaliser 10 minutes before half time, but the debate over who got the final touch that sent 2,473 Gasheads into raptures rumbles on.

Finley’s delicate cross was attacked by both Taylor and Collins before it nestled in the far corner with many thinking the latter got the decisive touch based on his emphatic celebration, yet Joey Barton believed it was a faint flick from Taylor that helped the ball on its way in. However, Finley – who has been credited with the goal by Opta – believes neither got a touch.
