Former Blackpool boss Ian Holloway believes Ian Evatt and Karl Robinson deserve credit for their Bolton Wanderers and Oxford United sides' goalscoring exploits in the League One encounter.
Wanderers went behind early on at the Kassam Stadium due to Billy Bodin's great free-kick, but Declan John equalised immediately afterwards as Bolton drew level.
Bodin struck again for the second time later on in the first, but Marlon Fossey drew Wanderers level again for the second time in the encounter after half-time.

The game looked like it was heading towards the spoils being shared, but Amadou Bakayoko struck before full-time to give Wanderers all three points for a huge win against the U's as Bolton went seven games unbeaten and are currently eight points from the play-offs.
Speaking as a pundit on the EFL highlights show on Quest, Holloway believes that his former central defender from his time at Bloomfield Road Evatt and Robinson deserve credit for their sides' goalscoring showing in the encounter and believes all were 'great' strikes as he reserved special praise for ex-Bristol Rovers striker Bodin and his second goal in particular.
He said: “Can we give both managers who try and outscore the opposition credit.
“All the goals were great but Billy Bodin, an ex-Gashead, I tried to sign him when I was at QPR. He sends him a kipper and bends it in the bottom corner, a beautiful player."
Fellow pundit Ali Maxwell believes Wanderers caused the U's countless problems in the clash at the Kassam Stadium with their wing-backs John and Fossey, who were both on the scoresheet.
He said: “The Bolton bandwagon rolls on and many people are joining it. I was there at the beginning, six wins in their last seven, they were brilliant today.
"They exposed Oxford who pushed their full-backs up really, really high, Bolton’s wing-backs made the most of that space in behind. Their mobile attacking players spun in behind, ran into that space and they caused so many problems for Oxford.
“Last season they won 16 of their last 22 League Two games to fly from the bottom half to the automatic promotion places. We’ve seen them do this before, the confidence and the quality that they have under Ian Evatt.”
