A number of Leeds United fans have taken to social media to discuss the performance of Elland Road newcomer Rodrigo Moreno as he featured for Spain on Thursday night.

The 29-year-old started up front for Luis Enrique’s side, with Ferran Torres and Jesus Navas on either flank, as they faced Germany in Stuttgart in the UEFA Nations League.

Rodrigo began slowly and, with the game still goalless, was guilty of a bad miss after taking too long to get a shot away in front of an open goal.

He improved as the game went on, registering more chances and showing some neat footwork, before ending the game on a high with an assist for the equaliser.

In the final minute of the match, with Germany still ahead through Timo Werner, Rodrigo headed the ball into the path of Jose Gaya to poke home from point-blank range.

Plenty of Leeds supporters on social media were pleased with their new player’s exploits on the night:

Rodrigo joined Leeds last week, signing a four-year contract after completing a £36million move from Valencia.

Marcelo Bielsa’s Whites are back in the Premier League after a 16-year absence and have been busy bolstering their ranks, with Robin Koch also arriving at Elland Road.
