The assist

 

Nice knock-down header, and very kind of the defender to give him all the time and space he wanted to pull it off.

 

Aaron has a cameo in Bobby Warshaw's book. Bobby had an agent who got him some opportunities in Israel, and when they fell through, Aaron let Bobby stay with him for a short while.

Starts today in Europa League at Villarreal

 

Good for Aaron starting an away match at a big club La Liga club like Villareal. That has to be on the shortlist for one of the coolest things he has gotten to do in his career.
