Leeds United forward Jay-Roy Grot has had a mixed spell on loan in Holland so far.

The 20-year-old is yet to score for Eredivisie VVV Venlo and a week ago he was substituted at half-time.

Grot was a bit lucky then to be starting at the weekend against Heerenveen, so he made sure he repaid the faith which was shown in him.

The youngster was once again starting out wide as part of a front three and showed he may be adjusting to that role, this time playing on the left.

He created four goalscoring chances for his teammates, more than any player on the pitch.

Whoscored.com rated Grot as Venlo’s man-of-the-match, a quick turnaround from his struggles a week earlier.

Grot also managed four shots at goal, although only one of these landed on target.

He needs to score to really start making an impact and show he can be a success upon his return to Leeds next summer but this was a step in the right direction.
