Man of the Match KEITH BRANAGAN GAVE a near-faultless display after surviving a sixth minute scare when Heskey's goal was disallowed. Three outstanding saves - one out of this world - and good handling under intense pressure stood out above any other performer.

Magic Moment THOMPSON'S goals were both superbly taken and much needed but Branagan's incredible save from Elliott's close range header was pure magic - the turning point of the game and possibly the turning point of the season.

Moan of the Match THE laws of the game that left Mr Rennie with little option but to send off two players. Had he ignored Bergsson's so-called 'professional foul' or Ullathorne's swing at Frandsen, which didn't connect, he'd probably have been in trouble himself.
