- Scotland takes the plaudits
Swansea City striker Jason Scotland won high praise from boss Roberto Martinez after his penalty earned the Swans a 1-1 draw at Southend United.
The 28-year-old has now netted 26 goals for the League One leaders this term, with City set to gain promotion to the Championship.
Martinez told the South Wales Echo: "Jason is not suffering from burn-out. He had three shots today off-target and the penalty against the wind which he scored.
"Jason held the ball up really well, he occupied both the centre-halves for the whole game.
"I think he was a tower of strength for us and he gives us a starting point to start playing our football from."
