West Ham attacking in our final third. The ball is cleared but headed back in by their player. From the moment his head touches the ball, to our goal, is 11 seconds. I timed it on youtube. Wow!
Edited to say; minute 6.21 is start of play. Not sure why my link plays the whole thing.
One other observation. I just started noticing this recently about Jota's play, but maybe it's always been there. He has this talent for fooling defenders into what he's going to do, and drags them into a position where they are harmless. The defender (and me ) was convinced he was running in for a solo goal. This cleared space for Raul's shot. Very clever, strategic, and thinking ahead.
