And now, he is the first player to notch four assists in one English game since Santi Carzola for Arsenal almost six years ago in the Gunners 4-1 win over Wigan.

Rotherham managerPaul Warne, who channelled his inner Pep Guardiola, declared he was "pleased when the final whistle came."

He added: "Their slowest player is quicker than my quickest player."

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.

However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
