Calvin Bassey was applauded by Dutch pundit Hans Kraay Junior for one moment that may have saved the day in their Europa League draw with Union Berlin.
The former Rangers defender has had a tough time of it in Amsterdam lately and has found himself a scapegoat by sections of the Dutch media given his inconsistent performances since his megabucks move. He was dropped by John Heitinga for a run of domestic games before being recalled for the 0-0 draw with Union.
But that game see him deliver one of his best performances of the season as he was rated one of the "best players on the pitch" while most of his colleagues were slaughtered. Kraay Junior reckons his pace was the difference as he highlighted a one-on-one duel with Sheraldo Becker which he felt would have gone against the Eredivisie side had it been the more esteemed Edson Alvarez starting in his place.
