Aston Villa manager Dean Smith has praised Marvelous Nakamba following his performance in their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea in Wednesday’s Premier League game.
Mason Mount’s effort denied the Claret and Blue Army a share of the points in the encounter after Egypt’s Trezeguet had cancelled out Tammy Abraham’s opener.
The Zimbabwe international delivered an impressive defensive display in the match, making five tackles and they had a 92% passing accuracy.
"I thought Naka had a really good performance [against Chelsea], he broke things up and used the ball well," Smith told the club's website.
