Image for Leeds United: Fans react to Phil Hay’s post

A lot of Leeds United fans have replied to a post from Phil Hay, which shows two goals that the Whites have scored this season.

1 of 9

Nice easy one to start. Who is this current Leeds man?

Hay describes them as ‘counter-attacking symmetry’, and the goals in question are from Reading away and Huddersfield Town away.

Both goals start with Leeds winning the ball inside their own half and working their way through the opposition before scoring.

The goal against Reading starts with a pinged ball out to Ezgjan Alioski, who finds Helder Costa on the overlap. (0:07)

Costa then delivers a cross first time that floats to the back post where Jack Harrison is waiting to head the ball in – having made up the entire length of the pitch to get on the end of the cross. (0:16)

Which was your favourite?

The goal Leeds scored against Huddersfield starts with Costa finding Eddie Nketiah, who, in turn, plays the ball to Alioski. (0:04)

The 28-year-old finds Harrison, who takes a touch before delivering a fantastic ball to the back post that Pablo Hernandez nods in. (0:09)

This post from Hay has gone down well with these Leeds fans who love this footage.

These are brilliantly worked goals, and both Harrison and Alioski are heavily involved in both, and this has led to them receiving some praise from many Whites fans.

Both of these goals show how deadly the Whites can be on the counter – if given the opportunity.

On both occasions, Leeds pile men forward and create an overload on the wing that leaves the opposition stretched.

It is no wonder then that so many Leeds fans love this footage.

Hay even commented saying that Leeds have been ‘spoilt over the past two years.’

It is easy to see why he would say this as both of these goals are superb.
