A lot of Leeds United fans have flocked to a post on the club’s official Twitter page that shows a goal that their Under-23 side scored in a 4-1 win over Bolton Wanderers on Monday afternoon.
The footage shows Leeds youngster Theo Hudson chase down a long ball (0:04), feint, and taunt the defender before getting to the byline (0:10) and playing an inch-perfect cross to Bobby Kamwa, who scores from inside the six-yard box. (0:12)
Would you put Hudson in the first team?
Yes
No
The finish looks simple, but Kamwa’s movement is impressive as he floats between the two centre-backs (0:10) to get in a position to score from Hudson’s cross.
This video has impressed many Leeds fans.

What do we think?
This was Hudson’s second assist of the game as he had earlier supplied Liam McCarron in the first half.
The young midfielder showed great balance and skill to hold off some challenges (0:04) and slip the ball through to McCarron, who rifled his shot into the far corner of the net. (0:08)
Marcelo Bielsa has handed first-team debuts to many young players during his Elland Road tenure, including Robbie Gotts and Pascal Struijk.
Could Hudson be the next to receive this honour? Certainly, on this evidence, he might not have to wait too long.
