Sky Sports commentators Seb Hutchinson and Alan Smith spotted Leeds United defender Rasmus Kristensen celebrating a moment in the second-half today.

Leeds fell to a 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace this afternoon after taking the lead early in the game.

Jesse Marsch’s men came flying out the blocks and put Palace on the backfoot for most of the first-half. Brenden Aaronson produced a ‘wonderful’ solo run and hit the post before Pascal Struijk converted the rebound.

But Leeds were pegged back just 15 minutes later as Osdonne Edouard headed home a Palace equaliser.

Leeds then spent most of the second-half on the backfoot and Kristensen made a brilliant block in the 56th minute.

Kristensen spotted celebrating

Eberechi Eze picked up the ball just outside the Leeds penalty area and played a brilliant ball through to Jordan Ayew.

The Palace striker looked to have a clear-cut chance but Kristensen covered from right-back and made an excellent last-ditch block.

Smith and Hutchinson spotted the 25-year-old celebrating the moment on Sky Sports today.

Eze played a perfectly-weighted ball through to Ayew. But Kristensen covered from the right-back position excellently and prevented a clear-cut opportunity

“A big block in there was celebrated as well by Kristensen,” Hutchinson said.

Smith added: “He’s loving that, isn’t he? But Ayew shouldn’t have given him a chance.

“Should have been a quick touch and a quick finish. First-touch puts him slightly on the stretch and gives the full-back a chance.”

Palace eventually found a winner after a superb goal from Eze but Kristensen put in a solid display from right-back.

The Leeds summer signing was up against Wilfried Zaha today but dealt with the threat from the winger very well.

The Denmark international will be hoping to build on a promising performance, despite suffering defeat at Selhurst Park today.
