Carroll Or Davies - Who Won The Battle?

Last updated : 21 November 2010 By Footy Mad - Editor

No-one can doubt the scoreline, but what about the two players?

Davies scored two from the spot, and Carroll scored from open play.

Davies was a shock inclusion to the England squad, becoming the oldest debutant since Roman times! Hardly a player for the future.

But the Bolton skipper believes his side has taken over the Toon tag "The Entertainers".

Kevin Davies: "It's going well - I think the Reebok is the place to be for entertainment at the minute.

"We played a very good Newcastle side who have gone away and beat Arsenal so I think it's a fantastic performance from the boys and a great win for us.

"I've taken a few penalties now and feel a lot more confident with it.

"I thought it was a good game, played in the right way. Like I said, we played some great football at times and I think it was a fair result.

"I'm not over-complimenting the result - I felt we deserved the five goals and probably could have scored a few more."
