Wood said: "It's not a nice one when a team-mate goes down on the pitch like that. He is a great guy and loved by everyone. we will be here to support him in any way possible for him and the family and I know he will come back stronger.
"As footballers you just want to play a nice game and not have to worry about anything like that. It is not nice to see and we will support him.

On his goal, the Kiwi striker added: "Let's hope that continues. I want to keep contributing and keep scoring goals. We were good in phases today and we need a more complete performance."
