How did Aston Villa loanee Luka Lynch fare on Oxford United debut vs Leicester City?

Aston Villa will be keeping a keen eye on the progress of Luka Lynch at Oxford United.

Pre-season was an interesting period for everyone in B6 as so many big-name exits were seen.

Although it was a major blow to lose so many stars, it gave others a chance to introduce themselves.

The 19-year-old certainly made himself known to the Villa Park faithful with several key moments across friendlies.

Lynch has now been handed a loan to League One as we assess how he performed on debut.

It couldn't have gone much better for the U's.

Did Luka Lynch impress on his Oxford United debut?

The 2007-born winger is certainly seen as a bright attacking prospect at Bodymoor Heath.

To be given so many chances by Unai Emery over the summer proves exactly that.

That has been summed up by the fact that his first loan spell away from the Midlands has seen him go to the third tier.

His Oxford United career started as a second half substitute against Leicester City on Saturday as his side ran out 4-0 winners.

That would be good enough in itself, but it was actually Lynch who grabbed an assist for the fourth after coming on.

The teenager also got a shot off while also attempting two dribbles at the King Power.

Something that Emery will appreciate is his one tackle and seven duels that prove that he is willing to put in the hard yards.

What will Aston Villa expect from Lynch this season?

It seems as if the expectations for the attacker is high, simply based on his loan arrangement.

His move to Oxford currently will last until January rather than the rest of the season.

That will give the B6 outfit chance to reflect on his performances with the U's before deciding his next steps,

They will be hopeful he can build from an assist on his debut to be a constant source of goals and assists in League One.

If he can do exactly that, he could earn himself a Championship switch for the second half of the campaign.

That will be the hope and expectation for Lynch at Bodymoor Heath and it is his job now to make it happen.
