Charlie Patino made an impressive substitute appearance on his debut for loan club Swansea City on Saturday, providing an assist.

Swansea City only confirmed the loan signing of Charlie Patino from Arsenal on Friday, but the midfielder was straight into the squad to face West Bromwich Albion the following day.

Patino initially took up a spot on the bench, but the game wasn’t going well for Swansea. 2-0 down on the hour mark, they opted to bring their new loanee into the action.

Unfortunately, things got worse before they got better, with West Brom almost immediately winning a penalty to make it 3-0.

But after that, Patino led a response by his new side.

In the 74th minute, Patino looped in a corner for Harry Darling to head home for 3-1, a first assist for Swansea’s new boy. Six minutes later, Patino was heavily involved in a second.

Patino initially put the ball in with another corner, and another header from Darling was blocked on the line.

The ball went out to Patino again, and for a third time, he found Darling with a looping cross. This time, Darling managed to head the ball back across the area for Nathan Wood to finish.

Despite creating four chances and successfully completing six out of eight crosses in his 29 minutes on the pitch, Patino couldn’t help his team find the vital third to snatch a point.

But Swansea’s turnaround in that last half hour has certainly led to a bit of a clamour for Patino to be involved from the start in their upcoming fixtures.

“He was good,” Swansea boss Michael Duff said of Patino. “I thought he showed personality to get on the ball and to play with the purpose we talked about.

“He came on, took the ball in tight areas, and played forward when he could. He gave us balance. So I thought in terms of his own personal cameo, he was positive.

“It was a good half an hour. But that’s all it was. A good half an hour. I don’t think he’s going to come in and win us the league singlehandedly.

“But he’s a good player, and hopefully, he can complement what we’ve already got.”
