A young Leeds United supporter has recreated Luke Ayling’s wonder strike versus Huddersfield Town in the Yorkshire derby earlier this month and the video has been shared on Twitter. The defender spotted the post on the social media platform and has responded to the young man’s efforts.
The former Bristol City defender quoted the tweet with the following caption: “That’s class… better hair than me as well” – prompting these fans to discuss it.
Is that Leeds United's goal of the season?
Yes
No

What do we think?
It’s always great to see a player taking the time to interact with the club’s supporters. Luke Ayling has made 145 appearances for the Whites, scoring six goals during that time but in our view, that was by far the most spectacular.
His average performance rating in the Championship this currently stands at 7.31/10 according to WhoScored.com, making him the team’s most consistent performer this season. Marcelo Bielsa’s side currently lead their division and are closing in on promotion back up into the Premier League for the first time since their relegation in 2004.
