Villa striker Heskey full of praise for Albrighton

Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey has been impressed by the Peace Cup form of young winger Marc Albrighton.

He told AVTV: "Marc produced a great cross for my goal. He has done very well in the games he has played for us in this tournament.

"We know the quality of crosses he can produce. All John and I need to do is get in the box and hopefully get on the end of some.

"He has done brilliantly and I can't speak highly enough of him. He has been thrown in at the deep end a little and I don't think he will have expected to play so much but he has taken to it easily and proved himself.

"I knew he would produce a good ball so all I needed to do was make a run and get on the end of it. That's what I did."
