That’s former Chester City man Evans (four appearances, no goals) and trainee Sturridge (three career goals and only nine appearances) to you and I. The result, some long overdue attacking football and a Euro escape that would have been déjà vu to Didi Hamann following his role in the 2005 Champions League finale against AC Milan.

Whether the Blue Mooners will be quite so fortunate in the next round remains to be seen though.
