Downey said:
“Joey nailed a touchline conversation and, I don’t know if you caught, but Johnny was stood on the sideline as he came off. All the players ran off at half-time but Johnny waited until Joey came over.
“He high-fived him, patted him on the back of the head and the two of them ran in together. It was just that unity and togetherness; it’s great.”
