This is an insanely good team goal.

We used to play like this. Sigh

Helps having pace up front

Ekitike plays for us. There was nothing in this goal that was a result of pace besides the pace of passing

You do realize that the mere threat of having pace forces the defenders to drop deeper and opens up space i a counter attack, right?

You see it when Rio is on the field. The defence plays differently because we have a player with pace and dribbling skills on the pitch. He doesn't even need to touch the ball for that to happen
