Analysis: How did the PL’s latest recruits make their debut?

Kenwyne Jones (34)

One game, one goal – encouraging so far for Kenwyne Jones at Cardiff. The big striker scored Cardiff’s winger against Norwich City, to provide the day’s only debut goal.

Jones also proved imperious in the air, winning six of the ten headed duels that he contested. He also – for now at least – allayed fears over his work ethic with an impressive eight defensive actions, six of which were clearances.

Luuk De Jong (27)

A half time substitute during Newcastle’s derby defeat to Sunderland, De Jong posted a performance score of 27. The Dutch international striker completed all of his attempted passes and also won two headed duels. Whilst he didn’t score, De Jong took four shots at goal, three of which hit the target.

Wilfried Zaha (11)

Cardiff’s on-loan Manchester United winger started the game on the bench, but took the game by the scruff of the neck upon his introduction. He set up Craig Bellamy for Cardiff’s equalising goal and was bright throughout.

Zaha set up two chances for Cardiff, one with a cross and one with a key pass. None of his teammates created more, whilst Zaha also made two tackles and ended the game with a pass accuracy of 92%.
