Antony shines again in Spain with another impressive display for Real Betis
Antony starred again for Real Betis as the Spanish side came from behind to beat Leganes 3-2 on Sunday as their rise up the table continued.
The Brazil international has taken to life in Sevilla like a duck to water and he was in fine form once again after an impressive display versus Vitória S.C. in the Europa League last Thursday night.
He played the entire match and was given a rating of 7.7 by Sofascore.
Antony was heavily involved as he had 75 touches of the ball and completed 40 out of his 46 pass attempts for an accuracy of 87%.
The winger was a constant threat to the Leganes defence as he made an incredible six key passes in the match.
The 25 year old was also effective out wide as four of his seven crosses reached their intended target.
He also created one big chance in the match as he continued to link up well with his new teammates in a way that was rarely seen at Old Trafford.
The winger had three shots on goal but they were all off target. He also had two efforts that were blocked as he had no luck in front of goal.
He kept the home side’s defence busy as he continuously ran at them all afternoon as he completed four out of his six dribble attempts.
As usual the former Ajax man did not shy away from his defensive duties, winning four out of his eight ground duels.
He also won his only aerial battle and made a clearance to help his side hold onto another victory and a valuable three points.
Antony continues to shine in Spain and United fans will be delighted as this will only increase his value and attract a greater amount of teams who would be willing to take him off United’s hands in the summer.
