MAN OF THE DAY

Evergreen Eidur Gudjohnsen scored his 20th goal for Bolton. His 19th came 5,354 days ago, in May 2000.

RUNNER-UP

Also making an impact, at the other end of his career: Liverpool’s Lazar Markovic – the 20-year-old Serb looking the part as he scored his first Premier League goal.

SULK OF THE DAY

José Mourinho continued to duck media duties after Chelsea’s win against Newcastle. Mourinho hasn’t faced the press since being charged by the FA on Thursday.

BACK DOWN TO EARTH

Five days after running Liverpool agonisingly close, Wimbledon went to Stevenage – and lost 2-1.

MOST RESILIENT

Eastleigh: missed three penalties against 10-man Lincoln City in the Conference – but still won the game 4-0.

GOOD LUCK WATCH

Cardiff returned to their blue shirts, previously considered too unlucky to trust in home games by Vincent Tan, and duly ended a five-game run without a win.

BAD LUCK WATCH

Crawley’s Matt Harrold, a striker forced into goal against MK Dons by injury in the 39th minute, let in an equaliser in the 96th.

WORST LUCK WATCH

Corby Town fans – making a 600-mile round trip to Cornwall to see their side leading Truro City 2-1 in the Evo-Stik League Southern Premier Division, only for the game to be called off after 85 minutes due to floodlight failure. Truro’s manager, Steve Tully, said he had no idea whether there will be a replay. “Nobody knows. We’re in darkness.”
