Some Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Junior Firpo against Burnley at Elland Road on Sunday.

Junior Firpo was in action for Leeds in their Premier League game against Burnley at Elland Road today.

The former Barcelona left-back started as a left wing-back.

And he played well.

The 25-year-old was defensively solid and was also very good going on the attack.

Firpo took two shots and one was on target, had a pass accuracy of 76.7%, took 49 touches, attempted two dribbles, and made five tackles and two clearances.

Leeds won 3-1.

As you can see from the tweets below, Leeds fans were impressed by Junir Firpo’s performance against Burnley.

Well, some of them anyway.

Important win

The win against Burnley comes at a very good time for Leeds.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side needed to win the match in order to enhance their chances of escaping the dreaded drop to the Championship at the end of the season.

Leeds are not out of complete danger yet, but three points against a fellow relegation side will certainly enhance their confidence.

In our opinion, Leeds were the better side against Burnley and deservedly picked up all three points from the encounter.

Jack Harrison, Stuart Dallas and Daniel James scored the goals for Leeds.
