Norwich City's Anthony Pilkington bemoans James Vaughan departure

Anthony Pilkington believes that his club Norwich City should not have sold James Vaughan this summer.

Having spent last season with Huddersfield Town on a loan deal, striker Vaughan joined the Terriers on a permanent basis in July.

However, having seen the 25-year-old score a hat-trick during yesterday's 5-1 win over Bournemouth, Pilkington has claimed that the Canaries may have been too hasty in parting with his former teammate.

"Another hat-trick for my man @vaughany08 the guy is on flames! Thought we should have kept him but our loss is a big gain for @htafcdotcom," the Republic of Ireland international wrote on Twitter.

Vaughan has found the net a total of five times so far this campaign.
