Leeds United attacker Jack Harrison scored his second goal of the season at the weekend.

Leeds United winger Jack Harrison has admitted to the Telegraph that the reason why he has been missing chances is that he often gets too excited in front of goal.

Harrison scored for Leeds at the weekend in their 2-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers, and it ended a goal drought which has lasted four months for the Manchester City loanee.

Much has been made of Leeds’ failure to take their chances this season, with Patrick Bamford coming under fierce criticism.

However, Bamford is far from the only Leeds forward to be wasteful in front of goal.

And Harrison is hoping that his goal at the weekend can help him get on the scoresheet more regularly from now on.

“The last time I scored was the first game of the season so I have been wanting a goal for a while,” Harrison admitted.

“At times I’ve got a bit too excited and missed my opportunities but if you score in front of the fans at that end it creates an incredible feeling inside that I wish I could have more often.

“I want to contribute to the game as much as I can with goals and assists.”

Harrison’s goal for Leeds against QPR sealed the three points from Marcelo Bielsa’s side, after Tyler Roberts had fired them in front.

Leeds’ latest win has pushed them up to second place in the Championship table, with only goal difference stopping them being top.

The Whites are next in action on Saturday, when they take on Blackburn Rovers at Elland Road.
