Leeds United fans were left feeling praising the under-18s after the youth team scored a last-minute winner to beat Crewe Alexandra over the weekend.
With the game heading into stoppage time, the Whites conceded an equaliser to leave the score at 3-3. However, that didn’t dishearten the youngsters, who ended up scoring a 92nd-minute winner with the forward coolly slotting the ball into the far corner (via Mark Jackson).
One fan claimed the striker showed ‘strength and bravery’.
Jeez! Strength💪🏼💪🏼 and bravery 🦁

The victory extended the side’s good run of form to three consecutive wins with the Yorkshire outfit now sitting in ninth place in the northern section of the under-18 Professional Development League (via Soccerway). Mark Jackson’s team travel to Hull City to take on the Tigers in their next league game as they look to pull clear of the bottom two. Fans were left lauding the young team after their late winner as they took to Twitter to react. Here are some of the responses:
