Ten Hag analyses Weghorst’s debut
Given Anthony Martial was declared unavailable for the Palace game by the manager, Weghorst’s second appearance for the club could swiftly follow, against current league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates this weekend.
”I thought it was the best choice, as he has a profile of a number nine and I thought he did well,” added Ten Hag, explaining why the striker started at Selhurst Park.
”He had good link-up play and he made a good run for the first goal with a front-post run by taking two players out. He helped Bruno [Fernandes] be free.
”Also in [the] pressing, you can see it was a good debut.”.
