Lethal from the corner: Villa’s new ace
Amadou Onana has emerged as a formidable force in the Premier League, carving out a niche as a master of corner kicks. Aston Villa's young belgian midfielder has an uncanny ability to find the back of the net from set pieces, with all four of his goals this season coming from corners. This isn’t a new development; last season at Everton, Onana was already making a name for himself, converting three goals from right-sided deliveries with remarkable precision.
Yesterday, he added to his tally with another clinical header, this time from the left side, assisted by Youri Tielemans. The connection was perfect, a testament to Onana’s sharp instincts and aerial prowess. It’s becoming increasingly clear that when it comes to corners, Onana is a lethal weapon Aston Villa can rely on—a player who has mastered the art of turning set pieces into scoring opportunities.
