For those saying that Nikola Vlasic is only doing well because he’s found his level in the Russian Premier League.. well, he’s replicating that form in the Champions League as well.
Everton’s on-loan midfielder has got one goal from a penalty and an assist in time added on in CSKA Moscow’s first matchday, and now has scored against Real Madrid in just the second minute of the game!

Vlasic is certainly relishing playing in the #8/#10 role for CSKA, and showed some good hustle to get to the ball, controlled it nicely and finishes exquisitely just inside the post too.
