Erik Ten Hag praised the striker and said, “[His form] tells you something about the team’s performance. It tells you something about him. If he keeps the focus, and makes sure he has the energy, the way, and the way he has to play in that system and style, he will get in scoring positions and then it’s about him, he has the ability to finish.”
