1. So good he nearly did it twice.
After producing a man of the match display against King's Lynn Town on Saturday, Jake Andrews was one of the United's stand-out performers again. Andrews opened the scoring for the Gulls in the 9th minute with a free-kick that went in after Moors keeper Ryan Boot parried his left hand post. Six minutes later, United won another free-kick in virtually the same spot, which Andrews once again took. This time he aimed for the other corner, but Boot guessed the direction correctly and was able to smother it. Andrews later turned provider when his 40th minute cross picked out Adam Randell who struck with United's second of the night -and his own second of the campaign.
2. A strong first half display.
In what was arguably their strongest first half display since they beat Yeovil Town 6-1 on Boxing Day, United went into the half-time interval with a two-goal cushion for the first time since their hammering of the Glovers (On that occasion United led 4-0 at the break). The second half, however, the Gulls showed a different side of their game, as game management came into play as they saw out the game without giving the visiting Moors' side a real sniff.
2. Jamie Ward's return.
Former Torquay striker Jamie Ward marked his first return to Plainmoor since his departure to Chesterfield in January 2007 for £95,000. Appearing as a left winger, Ward, who went on to appear for Northern Ireland in Euro 2016 amongst others things after leaving the Gulls, almost returned to haunt United in the 39th minute, when he found himself unmarked in the penalty area, but his eventual shot hit the side netting.
3. Back to back clean sheets.
For the first time since January, United managed to keep clean sheets in successive games. It was a feat achieved with one of the youngest defences in the club's history, which consisted of right-back Ben Wynter (23), centre backs Sam Sherring and Joe Lewis (20 and 21 respectively) and Plymouth Argyle loanee Ryan Law at left back (21). However, between them, they managed to successfully deal with a forward line that featured the Moors six foot nine inch centre forward Kyle Hudlin.
4. First double of the season.
By beating Solihull Moors, United have also completed their first 'double' of the 2020-21 campaign. They had previously beaten the Moors 2-1 at Damson Park on February 23 - exactly one month before.
5. As you were at the top of the National League.
Despite United's victory, it's a case of 'as you were' at the top of the National League. Sutton United managed to win 3-1 away to Bromley, which means that the gap between the Gulls and the U's remains at six points. Hartlepool United beat Dagenham & Redbridge 1-0 to remain in second place on 56 points and fourth placed Stockport County defeated Eastleigh 3-0.
