Nobody saw this coming! Lukaku bagged yet another goal to break the deadlock on 37 minutes, but the visitors looked dangerous on the break – particularly Wilson, who has performed so well in a thankless role all season. It was he who struck on the counter just before half-time, although the hosts immediately fired back at the other end through Willian. But Bruce’s men kept going, eventually pushing even Manquillo far enough forward to equalise, before the superlative Wilson fired powerfully across the face of goal to deliver an extraordinary victory. What a vindication for a side who have struggled to stay competitive lately. Meanwhile, given the events of the previous day, Ancelotti will settle for keeping his job.
