Sky Sports commentators were left amazed by what Leeds United winger Jack Harrison did to Chelsea’s Thiago Silva in the first-half of today’s game.

Leeds were excellent in the first-half against Chelsea today as they stormed into a 2-0 lead at half-time.

Goals from Brenden Aaronson and Rodrigo put the home side into a comfortable position. And Marsch’s men were certainly impressive as they pressed the Blues relentlessly for the whole half.

And in the 29th minute of the game, commentators Don Goodman and Adam Bate were amazed when Harrison took on Thiago Silva.

The 25-year-old picked up the ball for Leeds and skipped past the veteran Chelsea man.

What Harrison did to Silva

And the Sky Sports commentators were surprised by the moment as it doesn’t happen to Silva very often.

“Not many do that to Thiago Silva.” Adam Bate said.

“No, they certainly don’t. Brilliant. Playing at the top of his confidence isn’t he.” replied Don Goodman.

Harrison has certainly got off to a brilliant start to the new season as he assisted in each of Leeds’ opening games.

And the English winger grabbed yet another assist today as he delivered a superb cross for Rodrigo’s goal. He then rounded off a superb display as he reacted the quickest to put Leeds 3-0 up just before the 70th minute.

The Leeds winger has reportedly been subject to interest from Newcastle United this summer, but you can see why Jesse Marsch doesn’t want to lose the player.

Harrison looks set to be a key player under the American this season and was excellent against Chelsea today.
