Clinton Morrison has praised Aston Villa left-back Lucas Digne on BBC Sport for his goal against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United at Villa Park in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The former Crystal Palace forward was impressed by Digne’s free-kick goal for Aston Villa in the first half of the match against Manchester United today.
Digne scored for the Villans in the 11th minute.
The former Everton star found the back of the net with a brilliant free kick from 25 yards.
And BBC Sport pundit Morrison was impressed.
Praise for Lucas Digne goal for Aston Villa v Manchester United
Morrison said: “It was a brilliant free-kick. Manchester United haven’t started and I don’t know if they can come back from this, being 2 -0 down after 10 minutes because this place is erupting. The fans have been brilliant and it was an unbelievable free-kick from Lucas Digne.”
The match against Manchester United was Unai Emery’s first in charge of Aston Villa since replacing Steven Gerrard as the manager of the Villans.
And the former Arsenal manager will be very pleased with the result and how his players performed against the Red Devils.
Manchester United have been playing well and getting good results recently, but Villa were the better side today and deservedly picked up all three points from the encounter.
Villa fans should be very optimistic about the team under Emery.
