Blackpool manager Michael Appleton insists that the 'penny has dropped' with Leeds United loanee Ian Poveda, after his standout performance in the Seasiders' 4-1 demolition of Premier League side Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Poveda registered a goal and an assist as Blackpool pulled off one of the shock results of the weekend in the FA Cup third round.
The 22-year-old initially struggled to make an impact following his arrival from Leeds on a season-long loan back in the summer. However, Poveda has improved remarkably since the World Cup break, and capped his return to form in style against Forest.
