Bolton manager Gary Megson has said that he is trying to get unsettled striker Eidur Gudjohnsen on loan from Barcelona.

Gudjohnsen spent two happy years at Bolton earlier in his career scoring 26 goals in 55 games. Although he has been the target of approaches from more fashionable clubs than Bolton, a return to the Reebok, where he has retained hero status, may appeal to the Icelandic international.

Following the sale of Nicolas Anelka to Chelsea, Gudjohnsen would be a major signing for them in their attempts to get away from trouble at the foot of the Premier League.

Gudjohnsen has played only 33 games for Barcelona since joining them at the start of last season. He has hit the net only 8 times and has failed to settle or gain a regular first team place.

It is likely that he would be happy to leave and that Barcelona would be prepared to let him go. It will simply be a matter of Megson trying to persuade him to 'come home'.

Crouch scores sensational hat-trick for Liverpool

Sun, Apr 1:

Tottenham 1 - 0 Reading

SUMMARY:

No England supporter would ever have imagined themselves saying this, but boy did England miss out on the goal-scoring 'prowess' of Liverpool striker Peter Crouch.

The England striker signalled his come-back from surgery to a broken nose with a sensational hat-trick against Arsenal at Anfield.

The Bean-pole striker's first goal came as early as the 4th minute when Jermaine Pennant and Alvaro Arbeloa exchanged exquisite back-heels to setup the first goal.

Half an hour later, Crouch doubled his side's lead from a set-piece after being fouled by Kolo Toure. Xabi Alonso delivered a pin-point free-kick into the box for Crouch to power home the header. 2 - 0 Liverpool.

Rather than sit back and defend their lead, the Reds came out for the second-half in search for more blood and Daniel Agger delivered the third goal with a glancing header in the 60th minute.

Soon after, Arsenal bundled in a consolation goal through former Chelsea defender William Gallas - why do centre-backs always seem to have a knack for scoring against Liverpool (think Rio Ferdinand earlier this season).

Peter Crouch, high on confidence after two great goals in the first half, completed his brilliant hat-trick in the 81st minute when he danced around in the box before firing a left-foot shot pass the helpless Lehmann.

A fantastic result for the Reds that could go a long way in determining who ends up with the coveted third spot in the league as well as revenging the cup losses to the Gunners earlier this season.

And what about the main man Peter Crouch? I have never sung his praises, but he deserves a huge pat on the back for such a tremendous performance. Hat-tricks don't get any better than this and some would describe this particular one as 'perfect' - one with the right foot, one with the left, and a header.

Amazing.

Elsewhere, Manchester United came from behind to record a 4 - 1 win over Blackburn at Old Trafford.

After falling behind to a Matt Derbyshire goal in the 29th minute, the Red Devils had to wait until the second half before finding the net and the floodgates opened thereafter.

Paul Scholes opened the scoring with a shot into the bottom corner and Michael Carrick (73), Ji-Sung Park (83) and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (90) chipped in to send United 9-points clear at the table momentarily.

Chelsea only just managed to stay in touch with the league leaders courtesy of substitute Salomon Kalou's injury time goal to keep Chelsea's Barclays Premiership hopes alive.

Elsewhere, wins were recorded for Bolton, Manchester City, Charlton, West Ham and Tottenham.
