Slot was full of praise for Ngumoha and his performance, but urged the youngster to ensure he tries to match Salah’s dedication and output.He said: “A player that, as we know because we weren’t seeing him for the first time, he is able to beat his man in one-v-one situations. That is something you don’t see a lot in modern football, so good performance from him.“That is special if you are 17 years old and you can impact a Premier League game - I know it is an FA Cup game, but two Premier League sides - in this manner that shows that he has a lot of qualities.JOIN US ON FACEBOOK!

I think it's special if you're a 17-year-old and you play in a Premier League match.“I know it's an FA Cup match, but two Premier League sides playing against each other.

For a winger you only have to go to one of the three centre-backs, or defensively you don't have to do as much as when you face four defenders.“It was also a nice moment for him to use all his energy for the attacking part and not having to defend as much as when you have to do that when you play against the four at the back.”Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
