1. Kyle Cameron becomes United's seventh different goal scorer of 2020-21.
By netting a first half brace for the Gulls against Dover Athletic, as well as becoming United's leading scorer of the 2020-21 campaign Kyle Cameron also became the seventh different player to score for Gary Johnson's men in the process. Cameron scored his first on 26 minutes when he turned home the rebound after Dover keeper Yussuff Mersin and one minute before half-time he headed home a corner from Connor Lemonheigh-Evans. He joins a list that includes Lemonheigh-Evans, Adam Randell, Danny Wright, Louis Britton and Asa Hall.
2. United's first win of the season without a late winner.
Saturday's result was also the first time this season that Torquay United have secured a win without requiring a late minute winner.
3. Dean Moxey slots in impressively at left-back.
Over the years Torquay United have been blessed with many fine left-backs, including John Uzzell, Tom Kelly, Paul Gibbs, Robbie Herrera, Brian McGlinchey, Kevin Nicholson and, in more recent times, Liam Davis. However, following an injury sustained to Davis that was taking longer to heal than expected Gary Johnson moved to bring in Dean Moxey following his release by Exeter City at the end of the 2019-20 campaign. Despite missing the opening three games of the season due to a suspension carried over from his red card in the Grecians' League Two play-off final defeat to Northampton Town, Moxey has slotted seamlessly into the United side. He has displayed much of the experience and know how which saw him appear over 20 times for Crystal Palace in the Premier League. In the 53rd minute for the Gulls against Dover, he produced a precision cross for Aaron Nemane which saw the Frenchman hit the post, which, if it had gone in, would certainly have ended the game as a contest.
4. Adam Randell impresses in midfield again.
In the week that Plymouth Argyle manager Ryan Lowe likened Adam Randell to Gary Johnson's Lee in an interview with Plymouth Live, Pilgrims loanee Randell produced another impressive display in the centre of midfield and was unlucky not to find the back of the net on two occasions. The first came in first half injury time when he had a free-kick turned behind by Mersin and in the 66th minute he had a long range effort that narrowly dipped over the bar. What's probably most pleasing for Gulls' fans is that Lowe hinted that Randell might well remain at Plainmoor until January 2021 at the very earliest.
5. Top of the league - for a few hours at least.
Owing to Stockport County's late kick off against Chesterfield and Hartlepool United's fixture against Barnet being postponed due to several Bees' players failing a Covid test, the Gulls briefly topped the National League table. However, the Hatters won 2-1 against the Spireites, which sees United drop to second place on goal difference. Aside from the 2018-19 campaign in National League South, those few hours represented the first time that the Gulls had lead any division since September 2010, when they briefly topped League Two under Paul Buckle.
