Leeds United won against Bristol City at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon, and one of the best players for the Whites was Archie Gray.
Archie Gray started for Leeds United against Bristol City.
The 17-year-old is a midfielder by trade, but at Elland Road on Saturday, he was deployed at right-back.
It was an unfamiliar position for the teenager.
Leeds head coach Daniel Farke actually kept Luke Aying on the bench for the start of the match.
Praise for Leeds United teenager Archie Gray vs Bristol City
Former Leeds defender Leigh Bromby was following the match for BBC Radio Leeds.
And, the BBC Sport pundit was impressed by the display produced by Gray.
Bromby said about Gray on BBC Radio Leeds: “He was outstanding.
“I think his performance, to say he was moved out of position, his performance was outstanding.
“It was above his years.”
My view: Archie Gray is a Leeds United gem
In my opinion, Archie Gray is one of the best young players in the Championship and is a gem of a player.
Leeds United are a better team with Gray in it.
Until today, Gray had never played at right-back before in a league game.
But, you would not have known it.
The 17-year-old was brilliant in the role against Bristol City and kept Sam Bell quiet.
What was remarkable about Gray’s performance was that he understood the role so well and did not look out of place at all.
