Rosenior names what impressed him most about attacker who may have made himself an instant starter

Alejandro Garnacho was given a long awaited start in the Premier League last night and made the most of it, according to his manager.

Liam Rosenior spoke in glowing terms about a number of his players after last night’s win, but Alejandro Garnacho got maybe the biggest praise.

“That’s what happens when you’re professional and you do everything right on the training pitch,” Rosenior said to TNT Sports immediately after the final whistle at Villa Park.

“He’s really impressed me in the last few weeks and he’s impressed me the most when he’s been out of the team, because his reaction to being out of the team, his professionalism, the intensity that he’s trained at, it’s no coincidence that he’s gone and performed like that today.

“That’s the most pleasing thing for me because he deserved that today. He should have got a goal but he was in the right position and I loved how unselfish he was to set up the goal for Joao.”

Garnacho chooses perfect moment to show what he can do

This good performance from Garnacho couldn’t have come at a better time for him. With Jamie Gittens out and Estevao also still recovering from an injury we desperately needed the Argentine to find some form.

We’d expect him to get another start on Saturday against Wrexham in the FA Cup, and if he does well there he can cement his place for more Premier League games in the crucial weeks of the run in to come.
