Should have had a hatful last night, but we’ll settle for two!

He was a menace all night, running on the shoulders of Konate and Van Dijk.

So pleased that Ollie’s managed to turn it around after looking so poor back in the Autumn. Seems crazy now, but he genuinely looked finished.

Hats off to Unai, too. He backed Ollie to come good earlier in the season when everyone was questioning why he continued to be selected.

The thing about writing him off was that he looked a step slow, which is what happens when players hit the other side of the hill. However - there was always the caveat that he might have been carrying an injury, and it's starting to look like that might have been the case. He looks to be moving so much more freely.

Durable as well ain't he? Six seasons for us, over 35 league appearances in all of 'em. That's a big help.

Fantastic from Ollie during the run in, he’s come good when the pressure was on and we needed him most.

The greatest ability is availability, and he is made of granite. He’s not the best finisher in the league but he’s the best all round striker when fully fit, which he clearly wasn’t earlier this season.

A goal next Wednesday to ensure legendary status would be lovely.

A small caveat, it massively helps when your boss backs you to the hilt, even in tough times. Unai once again proving he’s the master.

A brilliant forward that we should remember for a very long time.
