“Ezri, to come in at the moment he did and to deal with a player of that quality (Vinicius), I thought he was also excellent, showed real composure and he should be really happy with his debut. We were really pleased with him.”

He added, “I thought Ollie did a good job, didn’t get that clear chance on goal that you might want as a forward but a lot of his work was very, very good.”
