The Stoke loanee has managed 10 goals in all competitions this season in a high-flying Saddlers side, with seven in the league.

But the 19-year-old is still improving on bouncing back from missed chances in games and is following the lead of Manchester City's Norwegian striker.

"It's more difficult than you think, it's a massive mental battle," Lowe said.

"I've definitely been getting better at it by working with people at the club and my parent club.

"I'm trying to be more like a goldfish, forget about it and not let it affect my next chance. Almost laugh at it.

"Look at Erling Haaland, he misses really easy chances sometimes and then he'll go and score a hat-trick because he laughs when he misses and he's not fussed.
