Leeds United battled to victory against struggling Bolton Wanderers to keep up their hunt for automatic promotion.

Goals from Patrick Bamford and Ezgjan Alioski ensured Leeds sneaked past Bolton with a 2-1 win.

And with Norwich City and Sheffield United also winning, it was imperative that the Whites got all three points to stay within striking distance of the top two.

One player that performed well yesterday was Luke Ayling, whose recent displays have been criticised.

Some fans have even called for him to be dropped to the bench and replaced by Jamie Shackleton.

Ayling has been out of form but showed signs that he was back to his best to limit Bolton’s attacking threat yesterday.

The 27-year-old completed 51 passes with 92.7 per cent accuracy, as well as making five tackles and two clearances (statistics via Who Scored).

This helped Leeds hang on for victory and the supporters were relieved that their right-back was performing to a high standard again.

Here are some things that fans had to say about Ayling’s latest display to help Leeds to a 2-1 win over Bolton.
