Lewie Coyle completed 90 minutes for Fleetwood Town in their draw against Leicester on Saturday – and the Leeds United fans on Twitter raved about his performance.

The 22-year-old defender is currently on a season-long loan at Fleetwood from the Whites and has been a regular in their starting XI this season.

He is an attack-minded right-back that can also play as a winger and he helped his side hold Premier League outfit Leicester to a goalless draw at Highbury Stadium.

Fleetwood have now set up a cup replay at the King Power Stadium after a historic draw in the FA Cup third round tie.

Leeds fans on social media paid close attention to their on loan defender as he performed in the televised game.

Coyle managed to hold his own against Leicester wingers such as Demarai Gray and Harvey Barnes to remind the Elland Road faithful of his quality.

This Is Futbol has rounded up some of the best tweets:

Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen was certainly reminded of the quality he has out on loan as defender Coyle turned in a great display for Fleetwood.

The tenacious right-back has now made 27 appearances across all competitions and has chipped in with five assists in that time.

There is already strong competition for the right-back slot in the current Whites squad, with the likes of Luke Ayling, Gaetano Berardi and Vurnon Anita potential options.

However, there was certainly proof that in Coyle they have a developing youngster that is really benefiting from a stint away from Elland Road.
