Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini said that Troy Parrott was ready to play, despite only arriving in Spain last week.
But the wily boss new what he was talking about, with the the Ireland striker making a big impact after coming on with 20 minutes to go when his side were at 0-0 away to Valencia last night.
It was nearly the perfect start when he was put through after just entering the fray on 71 minutes, but he produced a poor effort from what was a tight angle.
However, he had plenty of good touches, in attack and defence, and was rewarded when his hold up play and lay-off led to a goal for fellow substitute, Pablo Garcia.
You can view Parrott's match highlights below.
