New England Revolution coach Nicol excited by 2-goal Milton Caraglio

New England Revolution coach Steve Nicol was delighted with Milton Caraglio's double in their 2-2 draw with New York Red Bulls.

Liverpool legend Nicol is excited about what he sees from Caraglio.

"It's exactly what you want (from Milton Caraglio). He's a center forward and he held the ball up great. We had a huge difference just getting out with him and Rajko (Lekic) for the short time they've been together, they look as though they'll do well together, which is what you hope for," he told the New York Post.

"And obviously scoring two goals is great. Again, he should'a had a penalty - I've actually seen that replay and it's a penalty. A lot of things could have happened tonight, but unfortunately it's a 2-2 draw.

"I think (the Milton Caraglio and Rajko Lekic pairing is) huge. It's a big difference when you have two guys who can hold the ball and are a threat. It makes the opposition take a step back and obviously and gets us a step forward further up the field. So what we've seen so far is pretty good and we're looking for it to get better and better."
