A number of Leeds United fans have lauded Tyler Roberts on Twitter after watching a clip of the forward producing an outrageous pass in the build-up to the Whites’ winner on Saturday.

Roberts is enjoying one of his best spells of form since arriving at Elland Road. And he is doing it under the pressure of knowing that the likes of Rodrigo, Pablo Hernandez, and even Mateusz Klich and Joe Gelhardt are all in contention for his spot.
