Leeds United: Fans in awe after video of Helder Costa dribbling versus West Bromwich Albion

Leeds United fans were in awe of a piece of dribbling from Helder Costa in the 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday.

After picking the ball up midway inside his side’s own defensive third, the Portuguese attacker carried the ball into the Baggies’ half as he went past two players (LUTV via @FlackOllie).

Costa has been a revelation for the Whites this season, having scored four goals and assisted a further four across all competitions this season (via Transfermarkt).

This is in stark contrast to the winger’s struggles last season, where he only scored two goals and assisted a further two in 30 games for Wolverhampton Wanderers across all competitions.

However, despite his improvement, Marcelo Bielsa said (via Leeds Live) that he needs to improve and do better following his goal-scoring performance in the 4-0 win over Middlesbrough earlier this season.

Fans were full of praise for the attacker as they took to Twitter to react to his piece of skill.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:

That’s class on 2 feet , game by game the lad is growing in confidence n 1/2 a season left.
💛💙”watch out when Costa’s about”💛💙

2 main things I like from this video……Costa staying on his feet when others may dive. Harrison hitting the cross in low & hard

Costa has always excelled when playing more on the counter as he did so in that Wolves side – problem is we end up penning most teams in their half meaning he doesn’t get chance to shine too often, but if we go up that’ll change a bit & we might get more out of him
