Leeds' all-time top Premier League goalscorer is Mark Viduka but how many did he score?

One man who had a fantastic afternoon for the Whites was Jack Harrison, who scored and provided two assists as Leeds ran riot against Sean Dyche’s men.

This latest goal and the two assists made it eight goals and eight assists in Harrison’s first-ever Premier League season, and this led Osman to discussing his England chances.

He said: (30:07) “It’s a shame because he’s had an incredible season. The stats speak for themselves to have done so well.

“We’ve got an embarrassment of riches in that area, but the young man has just got to keep doing what he’s doing, keep trying to impress every time he plays because with performances like that today [Saturday], he’s certainly going in the right direction.”

Do you think that Harrison deserves an England call-up?

Yes, based on his current form

TIF Thoughts on Harrison…

The 24-year-old, on loan from Manchester City, has been brilliant for the Whites this season, and it does seem a shame that he doesn’t even seem to be in the discussion for an England place.

However, if he were to have a season like this again or even improve on it, then surely he wouldn’t be ignored for much longer by the England management team.

We think the most impressive thing about Harrison this season has been the fact that this is his best season in terms of goals and assists combined, and it has come in the highest league he has played in during his time in England.

This shows that Harrison has improved, and we look forward to seeing his development continue next season.
