MAN OF THE DAY
Neil Warnock: ending the season in boss mode. Rotherham were 22nd in the Championship when he took over in February. Saturday’s 4-0 romp at MK Dons was their sixth win in the last eight games.
GOAL OF THE DAY
Andy Carroll’s first in his hat-trick was a lesson in how a forehead should connect with a cross. Next stop, Euro 2016.
RETHINK OF THE DAY
Pre-match, Rafa Benítez was so upbeat. “I can see the players changing in training. I can see them working so hard. I am convinced we can do it.” Post-match: “They look scared. Some of them need help.”
RIVALRY OF THE DAY
Non-league Tranmere fans celebrated Bolton’s relegation from the Championship vigorously on social media. There’s no geographic reason for it. It dates back to a controversial Division Three play-off in 1991.
TRIBUTE OF THE DAY
Almere City celebrated their Dutch second division victory over FC Oss by reenacting Real Madrid’s dressing-room clásico celebration, with reserve keeper Roy Pistoor packing his briefs to fill the Cristiano Ronaldo role with panache.
TOUGHEST SWIPE
“I think I’m watching possibly the worst team that ever played in the Premier League,” said Newcastle-watching Charlie Nicholas – cheering up Villa, Derby and Swindon fans.
AWAY DAY OF THE DAY
With nothing much to play for, 727 Hartlepool fans relaxed for their 200-mile round-trip to Morecambe – and went home 5-2 winners.
