Football is all about making a name for yourself and leaning into what you know best.
In the case of 20-year-old Aston Villa striker Jhon Durán, the title of super-sub could not be a better fit after once again coming off the bench to find the back of the net for Unai Emery’s Villain’s
With the scoreline level at 1-1 early in the second half, the full Colombian international was called upon once more by Emery to make the difference, and he delivered in kind with a strike just six minutes after his introduction to put Villa back in front at Red Bull Arena.
Not only has his ten goals across all competitions this season come in just four starts, but the former Chicago Fire forward has netted seven times off the bench for Villa on all fronts.
Sometimes you just need a savior, and Villa might need him again, with Leipzig levelling for a second time in a hugely entertaining game.
