It looked like Richard Dunne and James Collins had been playing together for years. Dunne had a touch of "Laursen" about him in the way he won everything in the air and Collins really impressed me too - M.O.N may well have struck gold on the final day of the transfer window.
The game really only came to life when John Carew came on for Nigel Reo-Coker. Only then did we get forward and start to look like a threat. The big fella played his part with the nod back for Gabby to head home.
The away end celebrations reminded me of games at The Hawthorns in the late 80's - it looked absolutely mental.
We should have got a couple more after that but we'd done enough - an excellent three points from a game where if we're honest, we never got out of second gear. They huffed and puffed to their limit but it still wasn't enough.
Gabby may well know their alternative version of our song for him, but he had the last laugh on them all.
Here's to the next 3 points on Derby day....
