Smith says Nyland delivered a “very good” performance on Saturday

Aston Villa manager Dean Smith was full of praise for Orjan Nyland after Saturday’s victory over Swansea City, reports Sky Sports.

The 28-year-old goalkeeper has come under a lot of criticism after his move from FC Ingolstadt over the summer, but he showed his quality against Swansea with a number of saves to keep his second clean sheet of the season.

Smith said: “My goalkeeper made some very good saves. The clean sheet is a big thing for us having conceded a lot of goals this season. Nyland can take a lot from this game.
