Leeds United won against Preston North End at Elland Road in the Championship at the weekend.
Chris Wood has been one of the best players in the Championship this season and is banging in the goals left, right and centre for Leeds United.
The New Zealand international striker has scored 24 goals and provided three assists in the Championship for the Whites this season.
The 25-year-old, though, failed to score at the weekend. Leeds returned to winning ways in the league with a 3-0 victory over Preston North End at Elland Road in the league last Saturday afternoon.
Despite his failure to score against Preston, Wood’s performance impressed former Leeds head coach Neil Redfearn.
“I think he played his part,” Redfearn told TV Yorkshire about Wood. “I thought he was involved heavily in the first goal. It was his hold-up play, little give and go with Roofe which led to the goal.
“I thought he led the line as well really well, he holds the ball up, he is a threat in the air, he is brave, he still had half chances, but he is a good player, Chris Wood, and he is playing well.”
Leeds are fifth in the Championship table at the moment with 72 points from 41 matches and look set to clinch a playoff spot.
Garry Monk’s side will return to action on Friday evening when they take on Newcastle United away from home at St. James’ Park in the Championship.
The Whites will head into the match against the Magpies with confidence and should be looking to pick up at least a point.
