Steve Nicol has praised Brenden Aaronson following his man of the match display in Leeds United's 2-1 win over Wolves at Elland Road. Aaronson impressed on his Whites debut, although he was cruelly denied his first goal for the club.
It looked as though the American prodded home Patrick Bamford's low cross, but the final touch for the winning goal came off Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri. However, even without a goal to his name, Aaronson was a star performer in the victory, with former Liverpool and Sheffield Wednesday defender Nicol praising his work-rate and decision-making.
“I think the most impressive thing about Aaronson was that he was all over the park, and he was closing the ball, and he was winning it and he was giving it,” Nicol said on ESPN.
