Liam McCarron opened his account for Leeds United Under-23s on Sunday.
Liam McCarron scored his first competitive goal in a Leeds United shirt today.
Carlos Corberan’s Under-23 side thumped their Hull City counterparts 5-0 at Thorp Arch.
McCarron, who joined Leeds last summer, was a constant threat to the Tigers and scored his side’s fourth goal of the afternoon.
The tricky winger set up good chances for a number of his team-mates, including Ryan Edmondson and Mateusz Bogusz, before finding the net himself with a header on 68 minutes.
Here’s how the 18-year-old reacted to scoring his first goal for ‘this amazing club’ on Twitter:
The former Carlisle United star might’ve been a wee bit disappointed that he wasn’t among the fringe players heading for the Emirates tomorrow.
His Under-23 colleagues Robbie Gotts and Illan Meslier will start in Monday’s FA Cup clash away to Arsenal, but if McCarron – taken by Marcelo Bielsa on the club’s tour of Australia in July – continues to impress then he’ll get his time to shine eventually.
