But in a rather forgetful season in the league, Ekitike has been one of the shining lights. ‘He is funny, happy, always brings a nice energy to the training ground,’ said Slot after the game on Ekitike. Ekitike can score different kinds of goals but also links up incredibly effectively‘He's a great player,’ said Ekitike on Wirtz. This was the first time all season, in the league, that they have come from behind to win. The final word must go to the manager, Arne Slot, who we have not mentioned up until this point.
