Match Summary Scoular is still suspended and Clarke injured, so centre-half Thompson fills in up front and nets Froggatt’s pass after just 20 seconds! By the time Reid nods the fifth – his hat-trick – the title flag has already been hoisted again. Dorsett’s penalty after Hindmarsh handles is a footnote.
