That's in off the post.
Beautiful.
The conditions actually suit Rudy today in that Villa were going to go more direct when he came on.
Therefore, he was always going to get ball into him.
Sometimes...
when you're playing on a drier surface and balls are playing around, then it's not so easy for Rudy to play.
But today, I think the conditions determined how Villa were going to play.
Now, that's a great ball as well from Alan Hutton.
He's not trying to whip it in.
They're standing balls up to give him an opportunity to get on the end of it.
That was his chance there, Ray, that one there.
Oh, my word.
It was a great ball in, wasn't it?
I think because, as I said before, they're not working to get in areas where they can cross the ball to him.
They're working a lot trying to go through the middle of the pitch.
Now, when they get in wider areas, they haven't been producing those crosses, but today, for some reason, they did.
They stuck the ball in and gave him every opportunity to get on the end of them.
Yeah, it was, no question.
They had great chances.
Now, balls that were cutbacks, but the first touch just wasn't good enough.
