How the Irish fared: Wes Hoolahan weaves magic again

Wes Hoolahan was at his mesmeric best at the weekend, scoring twice as Norwich hammered play-off contenders Reading 7-1.

Hoolahan made it 2-0 to the Canaries after 15 minutes before his 50th goal for the club made it 6-1 after just 41 minutes. For good measure, he also provided an assist.

Not surprisingly, Norwich caretaker manager Alan Irvine was quick to hail a player he has long admired.
