Will Huffer made his debut for Barnet in last night’s FA Cup clash with Brentford and turned in an impressive performance.

Huffer only joined Barnet on a month long loan from Leeds last week but he was thrown straight into action for the FA Cup Fourth Round tie.

The non-league side were underdogs as they faced Brentford but they pulled off an impressive 3-3 draw.

And despite conceding three goals, Huffer’s performance impressed Barnet and Leeds fans.

The 20-year-old was playing just his second ever professional match, having been forced into action for the Whites earlier this season.

Marcelo Bielsa was forced into using Huffer after Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Jamal Blackman both suffered injuries in the same week.

The youngster kept a clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Bristol City, demonstrating his ability between the sticks at such a young age.

Yesterday was another assured display from the England under-20 starlet and Leeds fans believe he has a big future in the game.

Below are a selection of tweets from Leeds fans, praising Huffer for his FA Cup performance.
