These Leeds United fans loved watching their flawless counter-attack against Reading all over again via Twitter.
The move involved Jack Harrison, Helder Costa and Ezgjan Alioski, thanks to all three of their efforts Leeds were able to snatch the full three points in the 87th minute. Jack Harrison was the man to finish the move off, with a well-timed header, so late in the game that the Royals had no chance of coming back.
Was this a Marcelo Bielsa tactic or a lucky break?

Can someone tell Harrison that next time he does something like this, a swan dive into the fans is absolutely necessary.

The counter was absolutely perfect, which is probably because Marcelo Bielsa is likely to have rehearsed such a move on the training ground, just in case an opportunity presents itself like this one.
Absolutely sublime. Just think how good we’ll be when we start hitting our stride!

The desire by Harrison to get into the box after he was involved with the start of the move! @kittycatalaw

What Do We Think?
We reckon that this is something that Marcelo Bielsa has worked on the training ground, although we hardly expect the manager to turn round and admit that it was lucky. Jack Harrison showed just how hard he is willing to work for the team, covering all that ground and then staying composed to finish off the goal.
The Manchester City loanee certainly appears to have found his feet this season under the Argentine at Elland Road though, as he has managed to score four goals and assist as many, with an average of playing 1.6 key passes in his 18 Championship matches so far (WhoScored).
