Adama Traore has become a fan favourite at Middlesbrough

Barcelona's academy graduate, Traore did not get opportunities to shine during his time with Aston Villa but the Premier League is finally getting to witness his might during his spell with Middlesbrough. He looked the only player who could have inflicted some damage to Liverpool as his blistering pace posed many questions to the likes of James Milner and Jordan Henderson.

He looked ever so confident with the ball at his feet as he beat three to four players on a number of occasions. The 20-year-old created chances throughout the game but his teammates failed to grab the opportunity from the created chances.

Setting the good part aside, Traore still has a lot to learn as his end product is disappointing at times and also he tries to overdo his bit at times. But there is no doubt about the fact that Middlesbrough have a rough diamond in their ranks in the form of Adama Traore.
