The match report is in from our man at Kenilworth Road, Nick Ames. That’s my cue to go and have a lie-down in a darkened room. Thanks for your company, correspondence and quips. I should be saying “see you tomorrow” for the fifth day of the Test match, but something went slightly awry with England, who lost by 434 runs. Manchester United are sometimes like that too, though not today. I’ll be back on Friday for the next Test. Do drop by tomorrow, when Rob Smyth will be bringing you Everton v Crystal Palace.

Hojlund is asked if the deflection off his chest that brought the second goal. was intentional. You may be able to guess the answer. “One hundred per cent!” he says. “Just flick it in. I was surprised, that was such a good goal, to be fair… At the moment, I have a lot of confidence, so it goes in.”

Jamie Redknapp asks if he ever doubted himself when he failed to score in his first 14 Premier League games. “No, I never doubted myself, though of course you can be a little bit down when you don’t score… I always believed in myself, I knew it was a matter of time – learning [about] my team mates, getting the understanding, where to position myself with the right-back, the left-back, Rashy, Garna, Bruno.”
