So much so, in fact, that Anderson offered to pay for the damage.

"Tell me how much to fix it and I'll pay it mate," Anderson replied in a message on his Twitter account, before adding in a follow-up message: "Seriously let me know. It's my fault!"

Morgan, who was watching the playoff semi-final first leg at home on TV with friends, said he was "shocked" to receive the offer.

"It's a great gesture from him," he said. "I wasn't too happy because they'd (Norwich) just scored but then when Ando scored I just lost it.

"I went for a fist pump while jumping up at the same time. The next thing I knew I had gone through the ceiling."

The first leg ended 1-1 and the second game is at Norwich on Saturday with the winners going through to the final against Middlesbrough or Brentford with a Premier League spot at stake.
