Leeds United youngster Kun Temenuzhkov ended his 2017 with a goal in the under-23’s final match of the calendar year.

The Bulgarian sensation came off the bench with five minutes to go against Bolton on Monday evening and scored an equaliser to tie the game at 2-2.

Temenuzhkov signed for Leeds United from Barcelona in the summer, and has featured for both the under-23s and under-18s in recent months.

The youngster was happy to get on the scoresheet, and sent a message to fans on Instagram.

He wrote: “Happy for the the team and for being able to help with a goal.”

Fellow goalscorer, right-back Bryce Hosannah also commented on Twitter after netting Leeds’ first goal.

Leeds were pleased to avoid defeat, but it has been a tough first half of the season for Carlos Corberan’s side.

They have three wins, three draws, and nine losses, and sit in 11th place out of 11 teams in the Professional Development League North.

Sheffield Wednesday top the table with 30 points, while Monday’s opponents Bolton are third with 25.
