Mason Greenwood showcased his striker’s instinct for Getafe on Wednesday night as he helped his side secure a historic win over Tardienta in the Copa del Rey. The forward scored twice during a 12-0 away win at the Estadio El Alcoraz, with his second goal showing why he was so highly rated at Manchester United.
Greenwood has now scored three goals since joining the Spanish side and is beginning to settle into Pepe Bordalas’ team. The England international is yet to show what he is truly capable of since leaving United on loan, though his performance on Wednesday provided glimpses of the talent that made him a lethal forward in the Premier League.
After John Patrick’s opener, Greenwood scored his first goal on the night in the 15th minute. The forward was on hand to tap in from close range after a well-worked move down the right saw the loanee left in acres of space in the penalty area.
Greenwood’s goal was only the start of Tardienta’s problems as the floodgates opened in the Copa del Ray first round clash. The No 12 then grabbed his second shortly after the half-time interval with a sweet strike into the bottom corner.
