Man of the day

Scorn-magnet and Arsenal outcast Yaya #sanogoal Sanogo, scoring three for Charlton, having previously failed to score a single league goal since moving to England in 2013.

Move of the day

Michail Antonio’s horizontal happy grass-dance. “I saw The Simpsons Movie the other day and I saw Homer do it. I think I pulled it off.”

Regret of the day

New Sunderland midfielder Wahbi Khazri – choosing the 87th minute of a relegation battle to forgo a conventional crossing chance and try a penalty area show-boating Rabona instead. He David Dunn’d it.

Swipe of the day

@stokecity reported on Villa fans mocking defender Joleon Lescott’s recent famous Twitter trouble with a “He’s got a new car” chant – then added: “Apologies for that tweet, it was sent from our pocket.”

Most divided loyalties

José Mourinho –father of Fulham U16 José Mário Mourinho Jr – pitching up at Craven Cottage to watch ex-Real colleague Aitor Karanka’s Middlesbrough win 2-0.

Team of the day

Last season they were beleaguered Wigan. Now they’re unbeaten-in-12 Wigan, with striker Will Grigg on a run of seven goals in eight games.

Double win of the day

Sunderland – shifting a load of unwanted green away shirts from their stockroom, and earning some positive PR by giving them free to fans at West Ham.

Anniversary of the day

17: number of years ago yesterday that a top-flight team last named a full starting XI of English players: Aston Villa v Coventry.
