The report doesn't say that he almost scored two more...having the keeper saving well on both those occasions.

The thing with this youth is that he appears to me to be strictly a finisher, ( I was at the match) and I get the impression that the coach would still like to see him doing mroe work off the ball.

However, you can't argue with his figures .
