Jack Harrison provided a stunning assist for Leeds United on Saturday.
Kemar Roofe has paid tribute to Leeds United team-mate Jack Harrison.
Roofe scored the winning goal on Saturday as Leeds beat Derby County 1-0 in the first leg of their playoff semi-final at Pride Park.
The Whites hitman latched on to a stunning cross-field pass from Harrison to slot home the opener on 55 minutes.
The former Oxford United man is getting all the plaudits, but Roofe has reserved praise for the Manchester City loanee, who he says has a ‘wand of a left foot’.
He told Sky Sports at full-time: “We’ve taken a good step as the first 90 minutes is done. You’ve seen all the drama and comebacks this week so we can’t relax. We are going to have to concentrate It was a great ball in by Jack – he has a wand of a left foot.
“I know I need to be in the box ready for anything but the ball made the goal.”
It certainly was a magical assist from Harrison, who earns £51,000 per week at Eastlands [Spotrac].
He has been blowing hot and cold for United for much of his season-long loan in West Yorkshire, but it’s days like Saturday which offer a huge reminder of his ability.
It remains to be seen whether Marcelo Bielsa tries to make the move permanent this summer, but if he helps United into the Premier League then fans would certainly have him back next year and beyond.
