Not much time back, Anwar El Ghazi, Aston Villa winger, used to sit in the stands as a fringe member of the Villa squad. Ironically, if the depth of the team hadn't taken a hit with recent bruises, then the situation could never have been the same. He could have been on the bench as well for tonight's match against West Bromwich Albion.
Nonetheless, three goals in two games, and still counting. There are chances for more goals, for sure. His phenomenal performance has pushed the forward back into the spotlight.
It was a calm night in the 3-0 win over WBA for Jack Grealish, usual maverick. But the audience has seen El Ghazi up his levels. He scored quickly on Albion to set the tone. And, that too before doubling his tally with a penalty. Sam Johnstone denied him a late hat-trick. Nonetheless, it was a competent value for his two goals in another bigwig performance.
