Aston Villa seem to have a bet on for who has the best first-touch because the Villains have so far had two amazing touches pulled off from manager Dean Smith and winger Bertrand Traore.
Of the two touches it’ll be hard to beat Bertrand Traore after he literally sent Premier League superstar Kevin DeBruyne flying with his amazing first touch taken directly from a goal kick.
What a touch from Bertrand Traore!

The ball was coming down from the air, well past the half-way line and even with his back the ball and Kevin DeBruyne attempting to mark him, Bertrand Traore managed to pull off a remarkable touch which left him with a great opportunity to go one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
Traore didn’t manage to score from the effort but he had the league’s best player sliding along on his face after the brilliant bit of skill after he slightly tripped the Belgian international as he was running into space.
