Don Goodman has given his verdict on the performance of Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey against Sheffield United.
The former Wolverhampton Wanderers striker and BBC Sport pundit was hugely impressed by the display produced by Bailey in the Premier League game against the Blades on Saturday evening.
So, what has Don Goodman said about Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey? Let’s take a look.
Praise for Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey vs Sheffield United
Well, Aston Villa eased past Sheffield United 5-0 away from home at Bramall Lane in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
The Blades are in real danger of getting relegated to the Championship and are likely to go down from the Premier League.
Villa, who wanted to sign Armando Broja in the January transfer window, are in the running for the UEFA Champions League places in the Premier League and could even launch a challenge for the title.
Leon Bailey started the match for Unai Emery’s side. The 26-year-old Jamaica international winger was deployed on the right of a three-man attacking midfield in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Bailey, who could get a new contract, scored for Villa in the 20th minute. The £25 million (BBC Sport) winger was taken off on the hour mark.
The 26-year-old former Bayer Leverkusen star took two shots, played two key passes, had a pass accuracy of 87%, took 37 touches, attempted two dribbles, made one tackle and one interception, and put in one cross.
Don Goodman was following the match for Sky Sports, and he was hugely impressed by the display produced by Bailey.
Goodman said about Bailey on Sky Sports: “He put on a show. Made it very difficult for Sheffield United.
“He has enjoyed his night, hasn’t he? [His goal] was stunning. Absolutely stunning.”
My View: Aston Villa could get top four
The win against Sheffield United means that Aston Villa are now fourth in the Premier League table.
The Villans have picked up 46 points from 23 matches. They are five points behind leaders Liverpool, who have played 22 games.
I do not think that Villa will challenge for the Premier League title, but they could certainly end up in the top four this season.
