We were talking about this in the pub tonight. I recall there was an instance in a 2-2 draw, of the same player scoring all four goals, but couldn't pin it down. Can anybody cast some light on this one?

Yeah, it's a trivia question that went around a few years back.
It was Chris Nicholl at the Villa in the seventies. Scored 2 and conceded 2 own goals.

Thanks for that Newcy. I looked it up thanks to you.

20 March 1976, Leicester City 2 Aston Villa 2. Att; 24,663. With the 'Budgie' and Andy Gray playing for the Villa. All four goals credited to Chris Nicholl.

Must have been quite a day for him as he only scored 28 goals in a total of 647 League appearances!

All London FA Cup Final. Arsenal vs Chelsea on May 27. Good final for tv ratings. Would rather have at least one underdog though instead of two giants.

I think that most people would consider Arsenal the underdogs, Mich. Did you see how Chelsea played against Spurs?

PS - Don't forget that Wolves are at home to Huddersfield on Tuesday evening.

Underdog as in a smaller club making the final. If you asked at the beginning of the season that the final would be Chelsea-Arsenal, I don't think anyone would be shocked. Would have liked one of the others that made it to the quarterfinals to get through

Newcastle if they beat Preston will confirm promotion back to the premier league at the first time of asking.

[wolves71]

1-0 Newcastle, Perez from close range.

[wolves71]

All square, 1-1, excellent finish from Hugill.

[wolves71]

A good counter-attack from Newcastle, move finished off by Atsu, 2-1.

Game handed on a plate now for Newcastle, Matt Ritchie scores from the spot, Paul Gallagher had no choice but to handle the ball on the line.
