MAN OF THE DAY
Harry Kane – still not crumbling under all that hype. Not yet. England’s new talisman became the fourth player to score in six consecutive Premier League away games.
CAMEO OF THE DAY
Villa nipper Jack Grealish, weighed down by all the hair gel in the Midlands, coming on as a sub, picking up two yellows and calling it a day after 18 minutes. Slick.
MISFIRES OF THE DAY
Brentford’s Daryl Murphy skied a sitter from three yards; and Ian Holloway’s overdue Millwall revival remains overdue after a 4-1 home beating by Norwich.
COMEBACK OF THE DAY
Take a bow, Birmingham City. Two goals down entering stoppage time at Derby, they came away with the day’s least likely point – Clayton Donaldson levelling on 96 minutes.
LEAST KIND CHANT
“Rio Ferdinand, it’s time to retire,” sang the travelling Spurs fans at Loftus Road. Then the home fans joined in after Kane’s second.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE DAY
Last week: Hearts 10-0 Cowdenbeath. This week: Cowdenbeath 0-0 Rangers.
FASTEST MOVER
Villa Park’s electric linesman – caught on camera putting in a stunning final-whistle cross-field sprint to avoid the pitch invasion. It sent him viral on Twitter.
TACTIC OF THE DAY
Mansfield’s manager Adam Murray has been teaching his team how to wash their hands correctly to stop germs spreading in the squad. “Teaching the lads to wash their hands properly could cut 2% of illness, which might win us three points,” he said pre-match. They drew 1-1 at fellow strugglers Cheltenham.
