Aston Villa winger Yannick Bolasie was filmed warming up for Friday’s Championship clash with West Brom with a wonderful goal in training.
Yannick Bolasie has been one of the major beneficiaries of Aston Villa’s decision to appoint Dean Smith in October.
The Everton loanee had endured a slow start to life at Villa Park under Steve Bruce but has exploded in action since the former Brentford boss took charge, producing an outstanding attacking performance in the 3-0 away win at Middlesbrough on Saturday.
And, ahead of Friday night’s Midland derby against West Brom, Bolasie is full of confidence – at least he certainly looked it in training.
The Congo international produced a wonderful piece of skill at Bodymoor Heath, cutting inside and whipping a stunning rabona finish into the top corner. Aston Villa legend Ian Taylor was certainly impressed – but has implored Bolasie to save moments of magic like this for The Baggies.
Aston Villa are in outstanding form right now, beating Derby, Middlesbrough and Birmingham City in their last three games with an aggregate score of 10-2. So a West Brom side who have haemorrhaged goals at a worrying rate under Darren Moore this season should be putting plans in place to keep Bolasie as quiet as possible.
