Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to respond to the latest social media post from the Yorkshire club.
This comes after the official Leeds Twitter account shared a post on their page that contained footage of Leeds forward Tyler Roberts scoring a goal in a recent training session.
The interesting thing about this goal was that the ball was originally struck by Roberts while he was stood behind the goal at an awkward angle – but he still managed to pull it off.
Leeds’ Twitter account captioned this post with the phrase: “Scoring from behind the North Stand? Nailed it!”
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Leeds fans, who were quick to share their thoughts on the footage.
Here’s a sample of Leeds fans responding to the post:

The 21-year-old joined Marcelo Bielsa’s side back in January 2018 from West Bromwich Albion’s U23s squad for a fee of £2.57 million, according to Transfermarkt.
Hope Tyler starts when we’re back in action ??????

This season has seen Roberts make just 14 out of a possible 37 Championship appearances for Leeds so far this season, in which he has managed to score three goals (per Transfermarkt).

Would you start Roberts in any of Leeds' upcoming matches?
Yes
No

This is a great bit of skill shown by Roberts to get the ball into the net from such an awkward angle. This just goes to show the technical ability he has on the ball and what he can do with it.
The response to this latest post also demonstrates how much this group of Leeds fans like the striker.
The hope for Roberts and these fans now will be that he can make an impact for the team in their remaining Championship fixtures when the league resumes again later this month.
