A joy to watch last season, and started the same this time around.

Great also to see JOB involved in two of the goals.
Top post.
And all of that skill is what opened the game up (the first goal is always the most important). In English football, outside of the Championship, there might not be a better player for creative assists like that.
The exciting thing is that this season we have an in-behind threat this season who lives for service like that. We probably still haven't seen the best of Ruben yet.

And yeah, JOB's two first time lay-offs were beautiful

Another fantastic sign is Langstaff's 2nd touch for his 2nd goal. That was using your head in a melee of action, many strikers would've panicked and just snatched at a shot.
Bit of a stretch, but along the lines of this one...
