Bertrand Traore: Aston Villa forward already pre-planned scoring magnificent debut goal

New Aston Villa signing Bertrand Traore has opened up about his incredible debut goal which came in Thursday’s 3-0 EFL Cup third-round win at Bristol City, saying he already planned how he was going to execute it.

The 25-year-old joined the Birmingham-based outfit from Olympique Lyon and started in attack alongside Anwar El-Ghazi and Keinan Davis.

The Villans took an 11th-minute lead through El-Ghazi and Traore doubled it not long after in fine style by hitting the target on the volley with his first touch after receiving a long ball from Jacob Ramsey.
