Some Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Gaetano Berardi against Middlesbrough.

The 31-year-old defender started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes, as Marcelo Bielsa’s side won 1-0.

The former Brescia and Sampdoria defender was a rock at the back and defended strongly during the match.

So far this season, the defender has made 10 starts and six substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds, according to WhoScored.
