The Leeds United loanee won Man of the Match on Saturday, but did the award reflect the reality?

Leeds United-owned Tyler Denton won the Man of the Match award for his performance on loan against Bradford City yesterday – and Peterborough United fans can’t believe it.

Denton, who joined Posh on loan from Leeds for the season last summer, helped the League One side to a 1-1 draw against the Bantams.

The 23-year-old so impressive, in fact, that he was deemed to be the best player on the pitch.

But fans of the London club aren’t all that sure if they agree. Here is how some fans reacted:

It was only Denton’s third league appearance for Peterborough after originally struggling to make an impact at London Road, only making his League One debut on October 27.

That being said, it seems very unlikely that he has a long-term future at Elland Road.

The Thorp Arch academy player is out of contract with the West Yorkshire outfit in 2020 and Leeds are in no major rush to get him back, seen as though Marcelo Bielsa has Barry Douglas and Tom Pearce as left-back options.
