Eddie Nketiah starred for England’s Under-21s side on Friday night – and some Leeds United fans on Twitter raved about their player for his international performance.

The centre-forward completed 90 minutes for Aidy Boothroyd’s side, as they beat Turkey 3-2 away in a Euro 2021 qualifier.

Nketiah scored a goal in each half for the Young Lions and is proving that he can be lethal in front of goal at any level.

The rapid striker opened his account for the night after just four minutes, as he found space in the penalty area and tapped in with a close-range finish that is becoming his trademark.

He then added a second later on with a left-footed goal inside the box, while Arsenal’s Reiss Nelson made sure of three points with a third goal.

Nketiah, 20, is currently on a season-long loan at Elland Road from Arsenal and he’s in excellent form right now.

The attacker has three goals in just five appearances across all competitions so far this term for Leeds, bus is yet to earn a start in the Championship and is having to be patient behind teammate Patrick Bamford.

A selection of Leeds supporters on social media praised Nketiah for another masterclass in front of goal and some are crying out for him club manager Marcelo Bielsa to start him.
