Leeds United secured a much-needed win over Norwich to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone. Goals from Raphinha and Rodrigo were enough to ensure a win for the Whites.

After a drab first half, it looked as though the two struggling sides would cancel each other out. Marcelo Bielsa’s men roared back in the second half though to claim all three.

It was the performance of a youngster that caught the eye. Pascal Struijk has been brilliant since emerging through the ranks and he was in fine form again today.

The 23-year-old originally signed from the Ajax academy. After starring for the under-23 ranks he impressed Marcelo Bielsa and was handed his opportunity.

He’s seen as a utility man at Elland Road and he showcased his versatility at Carrow Road by playing as a left-sided centre-back.

The youngster did a cracking job and his ball-playing abilities make him ideal for that position.

Bielsa is keen for his defenders to play out from the back and the Leeds youngster isn’t averse to doing just that.

Despite some quality attacking talent on show, the Whites fan base chose to single out a future star for praise today.

What have Leeds fans said about Struijk?

It’s fair to say they were delighted with his showing. Although it was only against Norwich, this was a performance that showcased what Struijk is all about.

After the game, the fan base took to Twitter to speak of their pride at Struijk’s latest display and they were pretty impressed, to say the least.
