Ten Hag has been pleased with his progress and heaps praise on his composure that led to the goal.

Speaking after the game, the Dutchman said: “Alejandro Garnacho had a big impact in the win, he [finished] also, then the spotlight is on that and that is also justified because it was a great finish, because that is what you expect from subs coming in.

Ten Hag: "I am really happy with his [Garnacho] progress. We have an extra player in the squad and I'm happy for the academy that we bring out the player, the coaches, really well done, good work, great."
