The 18-year-old scored a brace as the Whites U23s ran out 3-1 winners over Hull. Here is how some Leeds fans reacted to his display.
Kun Temenuzhkov scored a brace in Monday night’s Professional Development League encounter between Leeds United Under-23s and their Hull City counterparts.
The 18-year-old striker was on hand to make the most of a flick-on by the returning Liam Cooper as the ball bounced off Hugo Diaz before being bundled home by the Bulgarian.
Although the Tigers drew level through Lewis Ritson’s header from Brandon Fleming’s free kick, Leeds retook the lead on the East Coast through Robbie Gotts.
The third goal for the visitors came in the 72nd minute as Gotts’ pinpoint cross from the right found Temenuzhkov, who headed home his second of the evening.
Leeds saw the game out for a solid 3-1 win against Hull and some Whites fans took to Twitter at full time to praise the efforts of the former Barcelona youth trainee:
Temenuzhkov has been at Elland Road since 2017, when he joined from the Blaugrana, and made his Leeds senior debut in the FA Cup loss to Queens Park Rangers earlier in January.
With 2019 having got off to a great start for the youngster, there is much hope from both the player himself and the Whites faithful that he can establish himself as a bona fide first-team player in the coming months.
