Anwar El Ghazi showed himself again on Tuesday evening at Aston Villa. The 26-year-old attacker was involved in the first four goals of his team in the EFL Cup against Barrow, which plays at the fourth level: 0-6. El Ghazi had a starting spot for the third time in a row and seems to be benefiting from the departure of star player Jack Grealish, who went to Manchester City.
El Ghazi provided the assist to Cameron Archer in the tenth minute, by going deep on the left and suddenly bringing the ball in front, so that the striker was offered a score: 0-1. The former Ajax player then scored a penalty with a panenka and also ensured Aston Villa’s third goal in the injury time of the first half. El Ghazi rounded off cool-bloodedly after a cross from Frédéric Guilbert: 0-3.

More than fifteen minutes after the break, El Ghazi also had a share in the fourth goal, by lowering himself into midfield and stabbing away from Archer’s axis: 0-4. A minute later, the game was over for El Ghazi, who was substituted by Dean Smith. Frédéric Guilbert made it 0-5 by picking up a falling ball and calmly sliding it into the goal, while Archer completed his hat-trick two minutes before the end. The striker simply placed the ball in the bottom corner from within the box: 0-6.
