Martial Is (Finally) Becoming A Number Nine
The Frenchman had never scored a hat-trick in his senior career before yesterday’s game. It sums up the forward’s lack of consistency during the early stages of his career, but there are signs he is developing into a more natural goalscorer.
Martial’s three goals last night means he now has 19 in all competitions; the most he has scored during any season of his professional career. Hopefully, the 24-year-old kicks on from here and ends the campaign with a flourish.
