MAN OF THE DAY

Oooh, tough call, but Sergio Agüero scoring five goals in 20 minutes was always going to take some beating.

PHYSIO OF THE DAY

And Agüero wasn’t even fully fit, receiving treatment at half-time. In a bad few weeks for physios, a tip of the hat to those particular healing hands.

HALF-TIME TALK OF THE DAY

After 45mins it’s 1-1 at the Etihad, Steve McClaren gives his Churchillian speech to his Newcastle team, and then ...

‘NO, REALLY?!?’ OF THE DAY

“It’s an issue to concede five goals in 13 minutes” - McClaren nails the problem.

GOAL OF THE DAY

Agüero gave plenty to choose from, but Jeremain Lens’ delicious chip against West Ham gets the nod. After all, Sunderland need something to cheer them up.

DISTANCING OF THE DAY

Steve Clarke, on the Sunderland job: “My wife would kill me, she doesn’t want to move around the country.” A nice way of saying: “She doesn’t want to live in Sunderland.”

AWAY DAY OF THE DAY

Cheltenham sticking seven past Halifax in the National League. A debut to remember for new Halifax manager Darren Kelly.
