Oriol Romeu

The Spaniard, was seemingly everywhere on the pitch Saturday and had a great match and impact in the middle of the pitch. He was wrongly booked for a fantastic challenge in the first half but other than that his performance was great.

According to Whoscored.com Romeu had 5 tackles and complimented that with an interception in just 64 minutes on the pitch. If Romeu, plays like this throughout the season he will be a key part of our success. He and Hojbjerg seem to have a great partnership in the holding midfield position.
