"An idyllic summer’s evening with just the hint of a breeze to cool things down; a gleaming hybrid playing surface more tightly woven than Frank Sinatra’s Sunday best toupee; the novelty of a pressure-free EFL Cup tie to savour."

"It was a finish born of experience and know-how and had the effect of transforming The Valley’s frustration into wild, unrestrained celebration."
