The Argentine opened the scoring with a volley from Ross Barkley’s corner in the 28th minute of the game, which Fleetwood star Bolton hailed as an unreal goal.

Bolton stressed that not every player is capable of scoring a goal like Buendia did with his volley and added that the Argentine’s performance highlights the quality Aston Villa have in their team.

When asked about Buendia’s goal, Bolton told Fleetwood Town’s in-house media: “Unreal! Unreal, like, I suppose, probably [could have] fallen to everybody else but him and as soon as it was his foot, I knew it was going in.

“Not everybody could do that really, to be honest, but that is the quality they got and that is why they get paid the big bucks.”

Buendia was not the only first-team player Unai Emery allowed to feature in the Tuesday night game, as Barkley, Jacob Ramsey and Lamare Bogarde played a part in the EFL Trophy clash.
