A lot of Leeds United fans have reacted to a brilliant goal by Josh Shergill in the Whites’ Under 18s 3-1 win over Hull City.
The young winger received the ball from Niklas Haugland and bent a quite sumptuous strike into the top corner past the despairing dive of the goalkeeper.
Do you care about Leeds' Under-18s?
Yes, they are the future
No, don't really care
This goal has delighted a lot of Whites supporters.

One fan even stated that the youngster moves like ex-footballer Eddie Gray, who made 123 appearances for the Whites, producing nine goals and one assist along the way.
He moves a bit like Eddie Gray, and that’s a good thing

Other Leeds fans believe that Shergill has taken tips from Mateusz Klich.
Been watching Klich ?

What do we think?
The Whites were too good for their Hull counterparts, and this Shergill goal was a fine moment of individual brilliance, though Haugland deserves credit for creating the opportunity.
The reaction from many Leeds supporters is brilliant to see as it clearly indicates that they care about the Under-18s, and that can only be a good thing for the confidence of these youth players.
Of course, Marcelo Bielsa has turned to the likes of Jamie Shackleton at times, so there is definitely an opportunity for young players to catch the eye of the South America.
The most important thing, however, is that the Whites are through to the next stage of the FA Youth Cup, and if they can play like that for the rest of the tournament, then some silverware may be in store for this talented bunch of players.
