Leeds United left it late to claim a vital three points against Crystal Palace and after the game, Adam Forshaw came in for praise from the club’s supporters.

The Eagles looked to have claimed a decent point on the road but Raphinha had other ideas when he fired home a stoppage-time penalty.

Leeds have some breathing space from the relegation zone now and these three points could prove invaluable as the season progresses.

Forshaw has been a revelation since overcoming his long battle with injury. He has been in the team for the last four games and helped Leeds to five points.

It’s been a long road back for the 30-year-old who has been at Leeds for several years.

In total, he has made 60 appearances for the Whites, enduring rotten luck with fitness issues and serious injuries.

Now, he’s back and he’s proving to be like a new signing for Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa.

His tireless work rate is integral to the way in which Leeds play and with him in the team, they should steer clear of the relegation zone.

The win last night was Leeds’ first for a month and Bielsa will now hope they can kick on even further.

What have Leeds fans said about Forshaw?

It’s fair to say they’ve been desperately impressed with his performances since coming back into the team.

He looks like a vital component in the middle of the park and his defensive presence helps the attacking players get forward.

Forshaw will hope to enjoy a long run in the team after two frustrating years where he has picked up injuries left, right and centre.

Following last night’s performance, supporters took to Twitter to discuss the heroics of Forshaw.
