"You can only play in your own level, but everything they did was almost as good as Man City did against Man United last week because you're against another team.

“I take my hat off to Nathan Jones as every single one of them was brilliant.

“If you sit back and look at the oranges moving about and they are all coordinated, so I’d make their manager man of the match and his staff.”

The manager in which James Collins completed his hat-trick also drew praise from Holloway, as he added: “This is brilliant, terrible defending, but what a connection and look how easily he finishes that.

“The confidence they were oozing was unbelievable.”
