Cherries substitute Alan Connell drilled home a 86th-minute leveller from 12 yards but Alexander claimed the striker pushed defender Izak Reid to create the space.[LNB]Connell's strike wiped out the lead given by defender Nat Brown which looked like giving the Silkmen their first win of the year.[LNB]Alexander, who was sent to the stands by Horwood for his touchline protest, said: "It was an absolute joke, everyone in the ground saw that it was a push but somehow the referee didn't see it from four yards away and then he sent me to the stand when I questioned it.''[LNB]The Town boss received some support from his counterpart Eddie Howe who said: "To be honest it looked like a free-kick from where we were but Alan is adamant he did not push him.''[LNB]A frustrated Alexander said: "It was our fault that we haven't won because we had the chances to make the game safe.[LNB]"We have been playing well all season but at times we haven't got the luck we probably deserve.''[LNB][LNB]
