John McGinn makes Anwar El Ghazi claim after Aston Villa draw
John McGinn that Anwar El Ghazi is up there with the best in the league when he is playing with confidence following his latest goal for Dean Smith’s side on Monday.
El Ghazi actually boasts a remarkable record for the Villans so far this season. The Dutchman has scored five goals in just eight games. Incredibly, he has started just four times.
His latest strike came as Villa drew 1-1 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He found himself getting on the end of Matty Cash’s cross at the back post to volley past Edouard Mendy five minutes after the break.
El Ghazi has silenced a lot of his doubters so far this season. And McGinn made a big claim when discussing the 25-year-old following the game.
“He’s a brilliant player and when Anwar’s confident he’s up there with the best in the league,�.
“His head didn’t drop when he wasn’t playing, he kept fighting and he kept being a good teammate. He got his rewards tonight and helped us get a point.�/p>
El Ghazi �who earns around £31,000-a-week, �is only one goal away from matching his best tally for league goals in a single season since arriving at Villa. And that previous return of six came after he had made 28 starts and 34 appearances in total.
He is now tied with Grealish for goals this season. And he has been on the pitch for around a third of the minutes that the Villa talisman has played.
