How the Irish fared: Joe Mason makes his mark 31 seconds into debut

First impressions count and it didn’t take Joe Mason long to make his mark on his Burton Albion debut.

Just 31 seconds to be precise. Sent on as a second-half substitute, Mason made an instant impact, scoring the equaliser to rescue a point for Burton in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday.

Mason, who last week joined Burton from Wolves on a loan deal until January, was delighted to hit the ground running.
