Hughes praises Kompany

The 22-year-old midfielder found himself in the defence alongside Richard Dunne in the 2-0 win.

“Vincent is a very accomplished football player,” Hughes said.

“The change possibly surprised people but in Germany people have seen him play in that position many, many times.

“It was important to have his calmness on the ball, and I think he really excelled – and we enjoyed his performance.”
