Villa coach Dean Smith hails Nakamba Wembley display

Aston Villa coach Dean Smith has showered Marvelous Nakamba with praise after his impressive midfield display in the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City at Wembley.

Villa eventually lost 1-2 to Pep Guardiola’s men but Nakamba was one of the standout players for the Birmingham-based side, something which did not go unnoticed by his coach.

Speaking ahead of tonight’s clash against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, Smith said: ““I thought Marvelous Nakamba was excellent against Manchester City, and if we’ve got these sort of players in form and performing well, we have a good chance.”

The former Club Brugge man was also rated high by the Birmingham Live after the historic appearance, getting 7 out of 10.
