The Leeds United winger has been in good form recently.
Leeds’ Hadi Sacko with Kyle Bartley
Leeds United defeated Blackburn Rovers in the week. Leeds won 2-1 in the game, which has turned out to be a battle of teams at the bottom of the table.
Kyle Bartley scored a late winner in the game, whilst Chris Wood had given them the lead prior to Marvin Emnes scoring an equaliser for Blackburn Rovers.
However, Blackburn boss Owen Coyle did not believe that Leeds deserved to win.
He commented on the result, as quoted by the Lancashire Telegraph, and praised winger Hadi Sacko and felt the free-kick that Leeds scored from should not have been given.

Coyle stated:
“We’re standing here with no points but I felt we were certainly worthy of more than that.
“Then the goal was certainly avoidable. We got caught out of position a little bit, Sacko did well, and even then it’s hit Tommie Hoban’s heel for Wood to tap in.
“We concede off a set-play. I’m convinced the free kick should have been given for us, because Wood was throwing Darragh Lenihan all over the place.
“But you still have to depend the set-play better…”
Sacko certainly gave Blackburn trouble throughout the night and the wide man has proven one of the better signings for Leeds United so far this season.

But Coyle’s comment does point out something about Sacko’s end product.
The ball to Wood had a large element of luck involved and the Frenchman has often found himself criticised for his final ball or decision making in the final third.
If he can become more ruthless at this end of the pitch than Leeds are no doubt onto a winner.
