Todd makes his point to Souness with equaliser

Blackburn 2 Newcastle United 2

Souness and Todd fell out after a bust-up when the Blackburn fans’ player of the season was left on the bench against Leeds in April. Todd never played under Souness again, but has been given a new lease of life since Mark Hughes’ arrival at Ewood Park, culminating in his first goal for 19 months to secure a 2-2 draw.

Hughes said: “It was a great finish and he could even have scored a winner with a header late on. He did well for us, but I don’t think there was any issue over what happened before with Graeme - he is just enjoying playing again.”
