Derby boss Paul Jewell has high hopes for Emanuel Villa

The Argentine striker earned the Rams a point with a superb glancing header.

Jewell told BBC Radio Derby: "When I signed him I did say it was a bit of a gamble. But if we get the ball in the box with quality this kid will score.

"It was a terrific header. He's a really good kid and it's always nice to get off the mark when you are a striker - it's a major lift off his shoulders."

Jewell believes Villa, who signed for �2million at the start of January, is settling in as well as can be expected.

Alan Stubbs was terrific and Roy Carroll was immense Paul Jewell

"It's difficult to come into a team when it's are struggling and when you can't speak the language," he said. "And when it's a different culture it's twice as difficult."

Jewell was also impressed by Alan Stubbs and Roy Carroll - who both joined on transfer deadline day.

"I thought Alan was terrific, along with Roy. I don't think Stubbsy lost a header. His distribution was good and he defended well.

"Roy looked immense in goal without having too much to do. He gave us a calmness and assurance and he made a great save in the first half.

"There were a lot of positives."
