The Whites managed to secure a last-gasp 2-1 victory against the Hatters when Patrick Bamford had put Marcelo Bielsa’s side ahead before James Collins brought the tie level just minutes later ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50442699)).

The Elland Road outfit looked to be heading back to Yorkshire with just a point, despite [dominating proceedings](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1381614/LiveStatistics/England-Championship-2019-2020-Luton-Leeds), however the Premier League promotion chasers managed to get what they, perhaps, deserved in the final moments.

An own-goal by Matty Pearson meant Leeds would remain just two points behind West Bromwich Albion in the race for the top-flight ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/championship-table)).

Indeed, whilst fans would have been delighted with the result, many of them had taken to Twitter to gush over the performance of White after a number of statistics emerged regarding his display.

Twitter account [LUFCDATA](https://twitter.com/LUFCDATA/status/1198290395022725123) posted a message on their account that highlighted all of his key figures from the game, which led to a plethora of supporters waxing lyrical.

Here are just some of their reactions…

> I remember when people were upset that Jansson was sold. He’s EASILY the best defender in the league and he’s been our best player so far this season behind Phillips.
