Patino’s display didn’t go unnoticed, with the EFL pundits on ITV’s highlights show making reference to the midfielder’s exceptional performance.
Presenter Hugh Woozencroft said: “That’s two wins in four games for Blackpool and I think they had a great impact from a young player with a burgeoning reputation in the shape of Charlie Patino.”
“Definitely,” pundit Matt Jarvis replied.
“I think Arsenal fans will be delighted to see it.
“Fair play to him for going out on loan. He scored a great goal with his left foot and he pops up with another chip for Yates to score his goal.

Woozencroft added: “We wish Greg Cunningham well, his injury perhaps played a part for Preston in terms of their defence.
“They conceded four goals away from home before this game so they’ve doubled it in space of 90 minutes.”
