Leeds United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Mallik Wilks on Friday evening.

Wilks featured for the Leeds Under-23 side against their Crewe Alexandra counterparts.

The 17-year-old forward started the match and played for 89 minutes, as the West Yorkshire outfit played out a 1-1 draw with Crewe.

The teenager scored for the Whites, finding the net after 70 minutes at Elland Road when he poked the ball home from close-range following Jamie Shackleton’s low cross.

Wilks gave a good account of himself during his time on the pitch and could have added to his tally.

The talented and promising young forward sent a flying header over the Crewe crossbar after connecting with Billy Whitehouse’s cross on the stroke of half time.

Wilks has yet to feature for Leeds in the Championship, but perhaps it will not be long before he gets his chance.

Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Wilks on Friday evening.
