Luke Ayling has taken to Twitter to issue a five-word reaction to his wonder-strike for Leeds against Huddersfield, which he netted in March.
The former Bristol City man jumped to phenomenally scissor-kick a cross from Jack Harrison into the back of the net via the crossbar, just three minutes into Leeds’ 2-0 win over the Terriers last season.
After watching his stunning strike again, Ayling – who Spotrac say earns £8,000-a-week at Elland Road – tweeted the following.
Leeds decided to repost the goal in reply to a tweet from the Royal Academy, which asked their followers: ‘What isn’t technically art, but *feels* like art?’
Clearly, whoever runs the club’s Twitter account felt Ayling’s strike was a masterpiece, and you simply can’t disagree with them.
It was the right-back’s fourth and final goal of what was an excellent 2019/20 campaign for himself on both a personal level and also for Leeds.
In addition to scoring four goals, Ayling also registered five assists last season.
The 29-year-old’s efforts saw him win the PFA Championship Player of the Year award, beating off competition from the likes of Eberechi Eze, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Matheus Pereira, Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma.
It may be over eight months since the goal, but nobody can begrudge the Leeds No.2 for talking about it still – it’s a strike worthy of being spoken about for years.
