Kenny Jackett praises Benik Afobe performance in hammering of Rotherham United

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Kenny Jackett hails the performance of two-goal striker Benik Afobe in his side's win over Rotherham United at Molineux.

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Kenny Jackett has praised the all-round display of striker Benik Afobe in his side's 5-0 hammering of Rotherham United.

The 22-year-old notched a brace at Molineux to help his side to victory, while Nouha Dicko, David Edwards and Bakary Sako were also on target as Jackett's men got their push for the playoffs back on track.

He told Sky Sports News: "Goals are great for forwards and they give you confidence. But I think Benik has got a good all-round side and that has helped us to link play. He has a lot of ability and we feel that we can play off him.

"Benik was on loan with me at Millwall before and I am pleased to now have him with me permanently because I think he has a good character as well that he can really develop. He is a grounded lad who will keep his feet on the floor as he improves.

"I think he is ready at 22 to step up and have a permanent home at what is a big club in Wolves."

Afobe took his goal tally for the club to five since in the win over the Millers, having joined from Arsenal in January.
