The authorities took advantage of the time available and scheduled a few overdue meetings for Thursday. In one of the most interesting of them, Leeds United took up the Aston Villa team on Elland Road. This meeting was special for Polish fans, because on the pitch we could see two Polish representatives – Mateusz Klich and Matty Cash.
Cash the hero of Aston Villa. Goal and assist
it came up after four defeats in a row, so the visiting team, who won the last three games, was the clear favorite. From the very beginning, only Matty Cash appeared on the pitch, because Mateusz Klich started on the bench.
As it turned out later, it was the Polish defender of Aston Villa who became the hero of the match. The visiting team put a lot of pressure on the very poorly disposed hosts from the very beginning. For quite a long time, however, she could not break through the Leeds defense. It was successful only in the 22nd minute, when Philippe Coutinho took advantage of a great move from.
However, this was not the end of Cash’s performance in this match. In the second half of the match, the Pole received the ball in the penalty area, deceived his opponents’ defender with a clever feint and gave a very strong hit from close range. Illan Meslier had no chance to save the shot, so the players could enjoy the 2-0 lead. The fans from Birmingham were delighted with the goal scorer’s attitude and sang the loud “Polish Cafu”.
A few minutes later, Leeds United knocked down Calum Chambers and set the score at 3: 0. Thanks to this victory, she moved up to 9th place in the table, ahead of Southampton. By contrast, Leeds United is still in 16th place with just two points clear of the relegation zone. However, the players of coach Marsch have played two games more than Burnley, who was 18th.
