Crystal Palace fans have taken to Twitter to react after footage emerged of Jesurun Rak-Sakyi destroying Leeds for the Under-23 side.
What’s the story?
Well, Crystal Palace’s Under-23 side earned promotion last season, and faced Leeds in their maiden game of the Premier League 2 campaign.
Unfortunately, the young Eagles lost 3-1 at Selhurst Park, but there were plenty of encouraging moments.
The main bright spark came from Rak-Sakyi, who embarked on a mesmeric dribble which resembled something a young Wilfried Zaha would’ve done.
Crystal Palace’s No.49 jinked past three Leeds players out on the right flank, before surging towards goal.
Then, he slid a delicate pass into Scott Banks to put him one-on-one.
Crystal Palace’s next big thing
Make no mistake about it, Rak-Sakyi is on the cusp of a breakthrough.
The 18-year-old made his Premier League debut against Chelsea on Saturday, playing 13 minutes at Stamford Bridge.
It was a tough debut given the strength of the opposition.
However, the fact Patrick Vieira trusts him to face such a mighty opponent bodes well for Rak-Sakyi.
Given more chances against the likes of Norwich and Burnley this season, he will hopefully end the season with a Premier League goal to his name.
Just by watching the aforementioned 9-second clip, there’s no doubt Crystal Palace have something special on their hands.
Let’s see how the Selhurst Park faithful on Twitter reacted to his dribble…
