There's an extended clip of the goal on the club's Facebook page, and as good as the finish is, what I really liked was Jonhson's part in it.
Anderson clipped the ball out wide and Johnson took a brilliant touch, and instead of just banging in a hopeful cross, he played a nice little pass into Fornals.
Early days in his career, but from what I've seen we could have a very good player on our hands.
Think Yarmolenko is going to struggle getting into this side. Think Pelle is clearly thinking of going down the route of Lanzini - Fornals - Anderson which is how he likes to build his attacking sides. Not sure Yarmolenko has done enough in his appearances to make you think he is a guaranteed starter.
I think that Yarmo took a few games to get into it last season, and after a long lay off I wouldn't be surprised to see him taking a few this season too.
It's a good place to be in though, so many decent players fighting for the shirt
Fabianski Johnson - Balbuena - Diop - Masuaku Rice - Wilshere Anderson - Antonio - Lanzini/Fornals Haller
I think that would be a really good unit as I think Haller having the support of Antonio, plus his pace & power, would cause many defenders massive problems.

COYI
But i think so far he has looked a lot more off the pace than the rest
You see his quality in glimpses but he needs to do more to how he should be a start, and I'm sure that we will see more as he builds up some fitness

Yeah, ‘occasionally’.
