The 21-year-old produced an outstanding run early on in the second-half to bag the game’s only goal. He danced through the Brentford defence in a manner that led some to draw comparisons with something Lionel Messi would do, while Ricky Villa’s famous FA Cup final goal was also mentioned.
It may not have been as significant as that goal, but try telling that to West Brom, who now sit seven points off the top two with eight games remaining. Automatic-promotion may appear just out of reach right now, but they have plenty of momentum heading into the final few weeks of the campaign.
