# Ryan Edmondson’s performance for the U23s had Leeds United fans in meltdown

**Leeds United’s Under-23s came out victorious against Barnsley following a 4-1 in which 17-year-old starlet Ryan Edmondson scored a hattrick. Barnsley opened the scoring through Tai-Reece Chisholm before Edmondson equalised, Sam Dalby put the Whites in the lead early in the second half then Edmondson scored a further brace to seal the deal.**

For someone of such a young age to be scoring hattricks against an under-23 opposition is startling and it has certainly got the Leeds fans talking.

With that being said, let’s take a look at some of the responses to the tweet of the scoreline and report put out by Leeds.

One fan was particularly eager to see Edmondson featuring for the first-team again as soon as possible.

Another fan brought him back to earth remembering he had just played the full game.

> Not sure if he'll be in the squad the day after playing a full 90
