DION DUBLIN MADE his powerful presence felt in every sense, scoring twice and having a hand (or should it be a head) in the two scored by his partner Huckerby. Magic Moment
BLAKE'S power and persistence in setting up the Bolton goal. He'd been an inspirational figure in the early exchanges and worked hard for his 'assist'. Moan of the Match
THE collapse at the end. Wanderers went from being the most likely winners to a beaten and bedraggled team in a matter of minutes.
