He looked anxious early on and should have scored on the turn when Danilo played him in. Hitting the penalty down the middle possibly showed a lack of confidence. Did well to get the penalty and made some really good runs but we didn't play him in.
I think he'll benefit from Kostic and would be even better if we can get players nearer him.
I missed the last part but I remain thinking that he sometimes needs to much space or that his touch is to heavy. What I liked is that he’s really active, Morata is way more anonymous for example.
He really needed this, we really needed this, and he did it. That second goal does wonders for confidence. Biggest positive for tonight was to just see the vlahovic we've been waiting for. Keep it up.
To miss the big part of the pre-season, score 0 goals in it (I believe) and then to score twice, and almost net a hat-trick in the season opener is a huge positive start for him.
