Eddie Nketiah scored for Leeds United’s U23 team in the 3-2 win over Millwall. Just 11 minutes after being introduced, Nketiah bagged Leeds’ second goal of the game to put them 2-0 up.

The 20-year-old is on loan from Arsenal and has already impressed fans at Leeds. He made his debut in midweek and scored against Salford City. But he watched on from the sidelines as Leeds beat Wigan Athletic on Saturday.

Nketiah was an unused substitute and his striker rival Patrick Bamford netted a brace against the 10-man Latics. But Nketiah proved his point to Marcelo Bielsa with a goal in the U23 game.

The England U21 starlet finished off a flowing counter-attack move by Jack Clarke and Jordan Stevens. Nketiah was in the right place at the right time to tap in again – just as he did against Salford.

Leeds fans took to Twitter to discuss Nketiah’s goalscoring exploits. The youngster is a clinical finisher, as proven at youth level for Arsenal, and they feel his first-team chances are just around the corner.
