Leeds United played out a 2-2 draw with Everton on Saturday afternoon, and Fabian Delph loved his return to West Yorkshire.
The Whites were playing their first home game with a full crowd since returning to the Premier League, with a raucous atmosphere at Elland Road.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin put Everton in front, but Mateusz Klich fired Leeds level to send fans wild – only for Demarai Gray to restore Everton’s lead.
Raphinha snatched a point for Leeds in a superb 2-2 draw, with Marcelo Bielsa’s men now on the board after a 5-1 drubbing at Manchester United last weekend.
Everton midfielder Delph came on for the final seven minutes, returning to a club he holds so close to his heart.
Delph was born in nearby Bradford and joined Leeds back in 2001, eventually making 54 appearances for the club before joining Aston Villa in 2009.
Delph briefly returned to Leeds on loan in 2012, and has been linked with rejoining the club on a number of occasions.
Now 31, that ship has likely sailed, but Delph took the time to rave about the atmosphere in Saturday’s game.
Delph has taken to Instagram to thank Leeds fans for their ‘warm reception’, with the Everton ace admitting he loved his return to his boyhood club.
