PSV continued its unbeaten start to domestic competitions on Wednesday with Malik Tillman impressing in the heart of midfield.
Tillman started, registered one assist, and played 90 minutes as PSV defeated FC Twente 3-1 on home soil. The U.S. men’s national team midfielder also completed the most dribbles of any player in the match (2), while creating three offensive chances, and winning four duels. Tillman had been in and out of the lineup to close 2023, but now has back-to-back starts under his belt to begin the new year.
“I thought Malik was truly fantastic again today,” PSV manager Peter Bosz said postmatch.
With PSV aiming to not only lift two domestic trophies this season, but also advance in the UEFA Champions League, Tillman’s productivity will only lead to more playing time this winter.
