Review
That was a great way to bounce back after last week's drubbing at Bournemouth. Hitting seven at home (for the first time in 33 years) was just what we needed. And plenty more stats galore today! We get a hat-trick at home from Chris Wood (the first hat-trick at home in the top flight since Dec 1987) and his second hat-trick for us. It's also our first ever hat-trick against Brighton, and our biggest win against them. So forget about the 5-0 loss to Bournemouth; it's a good time be back at the City Ground.
