Gary Lineker, speaking on The Rest is Football: “He's had a tough old time, obviously, with injuries and fitness, and he’s not been at it since he went to Manchester United, and even before that, he's been struggling. And you just remind yourself of the talent that he has and how an exciting player he was when he was young at Chelsea, and he was really impressive. And I just thought to myself today, it looked like that energy was back. Let's hope he can stay fit, because there is a footballer in there, there definitely is.”
