Healy delighted with Linfield's performance in Irish Cup semi-final
David Healy backed the opinion of his captain Jamie Mulgrew about the best player in the league at present.
"Jamie stated a couple of weeks ago that Kyle is the best player in the league at the minute and the most influential – I would have absolutely no hesitation in backing that up,” said Healy. “Jamie plays alongside him and has played in the league for many years so knows when a player is excelling. "Kyle’s second goal tonight – our third – was an incredible finish with his awareness, his touch, his technique...it was brilliant. The shape we’ve been playing recently has allowed Kyle to advance and get further forward. He has always been technically good and his energy levels are through the roof.
Joel Cooper put the Blues in front in the first half at The Oval before McClean's double either side of a Junior goal for the Glens secured the win. Healy felt his side were always in control of the game even after Glentoran halved the deficit late on.
