Some Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Charlie Cresswell against West Ham United at Elland Road today.

Cresswell was in action for Leeds in their Premier League game against West Ham this afternoon.

It was the teenager’s debut in the top flight of English football.

The 19-year-old central defender got his chance due to injury problems for Leeds.

The youngster played well at the back, made good decisions defensively, and looked very comfortable playing in front of a packed Elland Road.

The defender had a pass accuracy of 76.1%, won three headers, took 80 touches, and made one tackle, one interception and three clearances.

As you can see from the tweets below, Leeds fans were impressed by the performance of Cresswell.

Well, some of them anyway.

Cresswell has been doing well for the Leeds youth team, and his promotion to the senior side does not come as a surprise at all.

The 19-year-old played with a lot of maturity against a West Ham team who are playing in the Europa League this season.

You should not be surprised if Cresswell keeps his place in the team for Leeds’s next game.
