Leeds United uploaded footage on Twitter of Jack Harrison nutmegging Luke Ayling during training on Tuesday, but the right-back has now responded.
Ayling posted on his Instagram story that they ‘missed’ his nutmeg on the Leeds winger just ‘two minutes’ before.
Well, it seems as though Ayling has been done like a kipper here.
It probably adds up, Harrison only decided to put the ball through Ayling’s legs because he had probably been on the end of it just moments before.
But whilst Leeds’ official account uploaded footage of Harrison’s ‘naughty’ actions, they missed Ayling’s.
This is what Ayling had to say on his IG story: “Missed my megs two minutes before this lads??” added with the eyes emoji.
And this was the footage, he was responding to.
Well, both Ayling and Harrison will be hoping to transfer their nutmegs from training out on the pitch this evening.
Leeds are in the West Midlands where they will take on Aston Villa, who have had a positive few months under their new manager, Steven Gerrard.
During the Whites’ last two meetings at Villa Park, they have scored six goals, including coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2 when the duo were in the Championship.
Plus, this is the first time, the fresh-faced, Gerrard, will test his tactical wit against the legendary figure, Marcelo Bielsa.
Given both Villa and Leeds are front foot teams, it wouldn’t be a surprise if there are a few goals in this game.
