It was a night to remember for new Leeds United star Luis Sinisterra at Elland Road.

The 23-year-old winger opened his account for the Whites, scoring the opening goal in their 3-1 win over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup.

It was a sumptuous goal from the Colombian, cutting inside onto his right foot, before curling the ball past Barnsley’s keeper from 25 yards.

It set Leeds on the right track, and a Mateusz Klich brace secured Leeds’ place in the third round.

His performance on his full debut was described as ‘exciting’, and Leeds fans will be hoping to see him make an impact in the Premier League soon.

Malacia loved Sinisterra scoring first Leeds goal

Sinisterra shared a few pictures of his ‘perfect night at Elland Road’ on Instagram.

New Manchester United signing Tyrell Malacia responded to his post, saying ‘Mi hijo’ which translates to ‘My son’.

The £15m signing was teammates with Sinisterra at Feyenoord last season, before both young players made the move to the Premier League.

Malacia made his claim to be in Manchester United’s starting line-up with an impressive display against Liverpool on Monday, helping his side earn their first win of the season.

The two friends could be going head-to-head very soon, with Leeds visiting Old Trafford next month.

The right-back and left winger would likely be matched up against each other, which will be an interesting battle to watch considering how well they know each other’s games.

They’re clearly able to put their new rivalry aside to celebrate each other’s successes, with Malacia loving Sinisterra scoring his first Leeds goal.

Jesse Marsch is already believes Sinisterra will be very valuable to Leeds, and as his fitness continues to improve, Malacia may be responding to more big moments from Sinisterra soon.
