Jack Vale dined out on huge cup goals at the lavish London Stadium and Carrow Road last season. But the Blackburn Rovers forward insists feasting on a winner for Motherwell at creaking Cappielow would be every bit as tasty as he dreams of getting his hands on silverware.
Rovers loanee Vale got his spell in Lanarkshire off to the perfect start on Tuesday when he climbed off the bench in Well’s 5-0 trouncing of Ross County to net in injury time.
The 22-year-old hopes it’s the first of many with Well hitting their groove in perfect time for what he hopes is a run towards Hampden in the Scottish Cup.
Not that he’s a stranger to big stadiums. It’s little over a year since Vale’s career went into overdrive as he slammed the opener past Hammers keeper Alphonse Areola at a packed London Stadium.
