When Aston Villa sent the RB Leipzig players into the shower with a bitter home loss, it was a 20-year-old who came in as a game-changer. Jhon Duran came back off the bench in the second half, scored and helped decide the game. We get a real flashback to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the oversized United shirt, when he repeatedly came cold from the bench and took few minutes to score.
The 20-year-old Duran has scored 6 goals as a substitute this season. In total, the striker has scored 10 goals during his 790 minutes on the pitch so far this season. Against Leipzig, the 20-year-old needed seven minutes to send Villa into the lead with a fantastic goal:
With six goals as a substitute, Duran is the highest-scoring substitute in the biggest European leagues this season.
If Emery wants to decide close games, he just has to put in Aston Villa’s “Solskjaer”.
