Leeds United fans will be waking up wondering if they dreamt yesterday’s match against Bournemouth.

Two goals down with 30 minutes to go, it wasn’t looking good for Jesse Marsch’s side.

In fact, Marsch had to tell his players to ignore the crowd at half-time to focus on the game.

However, they produced a phenomenal comeback to run out 4-3 winners at Elland Road.

Sam Greenwood’s first Premier League goal was an absolute peach and kickstarted their comeback.

Liam Cooper equalised before a brilliant run from Wilfried Gnonto lead to Crysencio Summerville’s dramatic winner.

Despite the poor start to the game, there were a number of Leeds players who came away with some credit.

Gnonto and Greenwood were both impressed with the performance of midfielder Marc Roca.

Roca has been ever-present for Leeds this season, and once again started alongside Tyler Adams.

However, he was brought off for Greenwood yesterday as they looked to recover from 3-1 down.

It was a substitution that paid off for Leeds minutes later when Greenwood grabbed his goal.

Gnonto and Greenwood impressed with Roca

Roca took to Instagram after the match to celebrate his side’s win.

The Spaniard said, “What a team! Keep learning, keep growing’

Gnonto and Greenwood both loved Roca’s post and his attitude towards the rest of the squad.

It wasn’t Roca best game in a Leeds shirt, but the £10m signing from Bayern Munich has been essential to Marsch’s set-up.

Roca has already admitted he loves being at Leeds, and is enjoying life at Elland Road.

He received praise for Bayern’s sporting director after the leaving the club, and Leeds fans will be glad they decided to let him go.

Although it wasn’t Roca’s most outstanding performance, he certainly impressed Gnonto and Greenwood.

The impact his young teammates have made will please Roca, who looks to have bought into the club completely since joining.
