The League Two side earned a shock penalty win over Ruben Amorim’s Man United in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
It has since been revealed that they fielded an ineligible player, for which the club were handed a £20,000 fine by the FA.
Man United fans have since been clamouring for the game to be replayed, but David Artell was having none of it.
"The club has made a statement and I refer them to the statement," stated Artell. "From my point of view as head coach, no one can take away that performance. Nobody can.
"We were the better team for 70 minutes or for 75 minutes. We should have been 3-0 regardless of everything else that has gone off since, and I am extremely proud of the performance of the players, all of the players. I thought we deserved to win the game.
"What happens surrounding that isn't in my domain (to say) but, like I say, nobody can take away the performance of the players and the manner of the victory, certainly not in my eyes anyway.
"What happened was unfortunate, we owned up, made a statement, let everyone know and we move on."
