Mateusz Klich has developed into a mainstay in the Leeds United team.
Eddie Gray heaped praise on Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich for his performance in the win over Preston in the Championship.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side maintained their unbeaten league start with a 3-0 victory on Tuesday at Elland Road, which means they are now three points clear at the top of the table.
Liam Cooper netted his second goal of the season for the Whites, while centre-forward Tyler Roberts was on the scoresheet twice against Preston.
Leeds legend Gray highlighted central midfielder Klich for his positive display, which included a brilliant assist with a cross for Roberts’ header.
But one flaw of the 28-year-old from the game was his own finishing, as he missed two one-on-one chances in front of goal and didn’t quite have his goalscoring boots on.
“I know Klich missed a couple of chances tonight, but boy he’s got some energy and [produced] a lovely little dink for Tyler Roberts’ header,” Gray told LUTV.
Klich was wasteful in front of goal for Leeds against Preston, but fortunately his side were well on top and most importantly he is getting into the right areas.
The Poland international looks transformed under Bielsa and supporters are now used to seeing him break from midfield into the box.
Him and Samuel Saiz are the two creative forces in the centre of the park that keep Leeds ticking over, while Kalvin Phillips provides the perfect defensive cover behind them.
