Salisu was handed a starting berth and was impressive at the heart of defence for his side in the draw against Granada, who had defeated Barcelona 2-0 last Saturday.

Valladolid took the lead through Oscar Plano in the 12th minute before Carlos Fernandez levelled for the visitors in the 42nd minute of the game.

The 20-year-old completed 29 passes from 37, won three out of five aerial duels and none of the opponent's attackers were able to dribble past him.

He committed a single foul and was a delight to watch on the night.

The highly-rated defender has become a key cog for Valladolid this season, making six appearances in the Spanish La Liga so far.
