Grimsby’s David Artell said, per Gazette Herald: “It takes a terrific strike for anyone to score from inside their own half and especially when it’s up the hill they have here, but I’m sure Greeny will be the first to say that it doesn’t mean much when you don’t win the game.
“It was an outstanding piece of skill and it was also an excellent strike for our second goal, but we’ve only ended up with a point and that’s turned what could have been a good day for us into an infuriating one.
“I said at half-time that I thought we hadn’t been very good in possession, but we had been excellent out of possession and scored two great goals.
“In the second half, we also stopped doing the basics out of possession and didn’t really get any better in possession.
“If we had done our jobs properly, we would have seen the game out 2-0 but we got our just desserts. They probably didn’t deserve to score two goals, but we gave them that opportunity.”
Harrogate’s Simon Weaver said: “We are hard to beat at home and that’s nine games unbeaten now with five wins and four draws.
“I’m proud of that record, so I was angry at half-time because my pride was hurt even though I knew it would be hard against a good team.
“But we came back fighting in the second half and, after making it 2-1, we were relentless which is what this club is all about.
“Their first goal was magical.
“From way inside his own half, it was a shot to nothing by a confident player and full credit to him, but we had our own magical moment from Ellis.
“He put the ball right in the top corner and he’s a real threat when he comes off the right flank like that.”
