#2 Denis Cheryshev with two touches of utter brilliance
The Real Madrid reject, who currently plies his trade for Villareal in Spain, had the game of his life. And signs were there for all to see right from the off.
The willingness of the left-winger to bomb up and down the left-hand side is well documented, but it was the deftness of his touch which, rather uncharacteristically, got him the opening for his first as he delicately lifted the ball over two sliding defenders before leathering it into the roof of the net.
If that was unexpected, the second one was even more out of the realm of reality; as the ball sat up for him on the edge of the box and he just curled the ball, with the outside of his boot, past the despairing dive of the keeper in goal. Two smashing finishes mean he is on top of the goal-scoring leaderboard. And considering what he produced on the night on the night that might not be for just the first round of matches.
