On 32 minutes, Williams got his head to Nathan Tyson’s cross to give the hosts some breathing space.

“It was a very good performance,” said Ferguson. “From the moment we went ahead we were quite relentless in what we did.

“We thoroughly deserved the win. We’ve just got to maintain it now against Crewe and Burton.

“As a team we’ve got a bit of momentum now. You can see the belief.

“We can still catch four teams.

“If we lose to Crewe it’s over. If we lose to Burton it’s over. We’ve got to focus on winning those games.”
