Rodrigo stepped up when Leeds needed him on Sunday

It has not been an easy time for Rodrigo at Leeds. He was taken off at the break in the 3-0 loss against Aston Villa after a poor showing.

He took to Instagram following the game to express his delight at the win. And amongst those to reply was Villa. The former Spain international joined Tyler Roberts in sending a message to Rodrigo…
