The new Aston Villa hitman made his debut tonight.
Aston Villa fans on Twitter have reacted to Mbwana Samatta’s debut.
The Tanzania striker joined the Villans in a £10 million deal last week and his bow came on a pretty big stage.
Aston Villa hosted Leicester City in the second leg of a League Cup semi-final in the West Midlands tonight.
And the 27-year-old could and probably should have marked the occasion with a goal, but he somehow failed to convert a brilliant Jack Grealish cross in the second half to make it 2-0.
Despite the miss, Aston Villa fans are liking what they saw from the marksman and here’s some of the supporters’ first impressions of him.
It looked like Samatta’s miss might prove costly.
Kelechi Iheanacho equalised for the Foxes five minutes after Dean Smith withdrew his new boy and the tie seemed certain to go beyond the 90 minutes, at 2-2 on aggregate.
But Trezeguet popped up and snatched a last-minute winner to send Aston Villa to Wembley, where they will meet Manchester City or Manchester United in the final next month.
