Derby County star Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has joked about assisting Kane Wilson, claiming that the right-back is hard to miss since he resembles a buffalo.
The Rams ended their six-game losing streak on Friday night with a 4-0 victory over Portsmouth.
Mendez-Laing assisted Derby right-back Wilson in the eighth minute of the game, squaring a pass from the left side to open the score for the Rams.
The forward remarked that Wilson is like a buffalo, making it easier for him to locate the defender in the Portsmouth box.
When asked about how he managed to find Wilson with his pass, Mendez-Laing told Rams TV: “It’s the buffalo in him; you can’t miss him.”
Mendez-Laing also expressed his delight that Wilson scored a goal and praised the right-back’s performance against Portsmouth.
Discussing his relationship with Wilson, he added: “I love it; Kane is my guy, man.
“I am buzzing for him to get a goal.
“I think he played excellently tonight as well.
“He was up and down there like the buffalo that he is, but everyone to a man tonight, I think, was outstanding all the way through the team.”
Derby have managed to climb up to 14th place in the league table with 24 points from 21 games.
