# Leeds United: Fans love footage of Luke Ayling with his daughter

**Loads of Leeds United fans have been loving footage that has emerged on social media of defender Luke Ayling and his young daughter.**

The defender posted a clip on his [official Instagram account](https://www.instagram.com/luke_ayling2/?hl=en) which has since been relayed by [@barney\_21](https://twitter.com/barney___21/status/1245715330753875970) on Twitter, which shows him teaching his child what has become known as the ‘Ayling flop’ by some fans, a move he often uses to win his team free-kicks (via [@FocusOnLeeds](https://twitter.com/FocusOnLeeds/status/1240611327397310466)).

In the video, Ayling slightly touches his daughter on the back before she falls over a football and onto the floor. It is a move that her dad has certainly used a lot this season, indeed he wins an average of 2 fouls per game according to [SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/luke-ayling/102624).

It would be fair to say that the footage has gone down very well with a large number of Whites fans, many of whom have been reacting to it on Twitter. One even described her as ‘Neymar in the making’ – perhaps alluding to the Brazilian’s reputation for diving ([talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/395719/neymars-diving-at-the-world-cup-means-he-has-spent-14-minutes-on-the-ground-so-far-for-brazil/)). Here is what some had to say…
