Allardyce Hails Two-Goal Teymourian
Bolton Wanderers' Iranian midfielder Andranik Teymourian hit two
goals on his FA Cup debut as the Premier League high-fliers defeated
Doncaster Rovers 4-0.
The 23 year-old Armenian-born player joined Bolton last summer but
has found it hard to get minutes on the pitch in the Premier League.
After his performance in the cup, that could change.
"He took his chances superbly well," Allardyce told reporters after
the game.
"His two goals were terrific after running from deep positions, he's
a great athlete.
"It's taken him a long time to settle down here with the different
cultures, not speaking the language too well and being on his own.
"But the lads get on well with him and he's enjoying his football a
little better and today was an expression of that.
"If he continues like that then we could have a player on our hands
to put in and play in the Premiership now and again throughout the
season.
"We spotted him in the World Cup and he's one of those risks you take
as a manager that doesn't cost you too much.
"He cost us a few hundred thousand euros or dollars and was playing
in Iran."
