Image for Leeds United: Fans react to footage of Luke Ayling

Fans of Leeds United have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relayed footage of the Whites right-back, Luke Ayling.

The footage featured Ayling’s strike against Huddersfield Town in the club’s Championship-winning campaign last year – when a deep ball across the penalty area by Jack Harrison found the 29-year-old unmarked, who spectacularly volleyed home, sparking wild celebrations from the Leeds United faithful.

And, after Leeds United relayed the footage on Twitter, fans of the club flocked to have their say on the matter, with many, despite the time that has passed since the fixture, claiming it still gives them goosebumps to watch.
