Uche Ikpeazu was unhappy that Port Vale walked away from the Alexandra Stadium with a point after playing out a goalless draw with his former club, Crewe Alexandra, in both teams opening game of the new season.

The Watford loanee , who was sporting the number nine jersey, made his official debut for The Valiants, and lasted 81 minutes on the pitch before making way for Leitch-Smith.

Having failed to open his goalscoring account for Port Vale in a competitive fixture, the Olympic National Team target is looking forward to the Capital Cup clash against Burnley.

“Great performance, should have walked away with all three points. Time to rest up and prepare for Tuesday night, the best is yet to come,” Uche Ikpeazu stated.

The 20 - year - old previously enjoyed loan spells at Crewe Alexandra and Doncaster Rovers.
