Rochdale captain scores an FA Cup stunner; Sky reporter gets a drenching in Dagenham to out-trend Justin Bieber

MAN OF THE DAY

Lee Johnson, 32 – the league’s youngest manager – was up against it at half-time: his Oldham side 3-0 down at home, booed off and broken. They won it 5-4.

RUNNER UP

Sergio Agüero: justifying his £170k a week – sort of – by scoring in his seventh game in a row, making it 24 goals in his past 20 for Manchester City.

GOAL OF THE DAY

Rochdale left-back Michael Rose’s 25-yard blisterer for Rochdale. Outstanding.

BEST PERFORMANCE

Sky’s Bianca Westwood: holding it together as a monsoon tried to sweep her out of Dagenham. She earned so much respect on Twitter that she briefly trended above #ILoveJustinBieberBecause.

SPOOKY TWINS OF THE DAY

Lars and Sven Bender synchronised in the Bundesliga: Lars scoring for Bayer Leverkusen in the fourth minute; Sven for Borussia Dortmund in the fifth.

HYDE WATCH

Hyde – 16 points behind 23rd-placed Dartford in the Conference – put the false dawn of victory at Welling firmly behind them, losing 3-0 at home to Tamworth.
