Enzo Maresca has been shouting a lot at his forward player tonight trying to get the to press as he wishes – well he’ll be delighted with Christopher Nkunku just now.
The Frenchman pushed the Barrow goalkeeper all the way and then nicked the ball of him and put it into the empty net. It’s not the most glamorous way to complete an otherwise very silky hattrick, but it shows he’s happy to put in the effort in terms of defending from the front that his manager wants.
