The Whites earned a 2-0 win over Ipswich to return to the top of the table.

Two goals from Kemar Roofe and Liam Cooper were enough for Leeds United to get back to winning ways on Wednesday night as they saw off Ipswich Town – but some fans are not impressed with Jack Harrison’s display.

The 21-year-old missed the 2-1 loss to Blackburn on the weekend through injury but returned in time to start at Elland Road against the Tractor Boys, who remain stuck at the bottom of the Championship table.

However, the Manchester City loanee was way below par as he started on the left flank with Gjanni Alioski at left-back, and was replaced by Tom Pearce moments before the hour mark.

Harrison has shown in glimpses this season that is more than capable of thriving at this level, with his most memorable highlight coming in the form of a last-minute goal against bitter rivals Millwall.

But he is yet to recapture the form that saw him score 14 goals and create 10 more in 61 league and cup appearances for MLS side New York City – which in turn earned him a move to Manchester City.

Marcelo Bielsa worked very hard to get Harrison a move to Yorkshire from Pep Guardiola’s City, and is highly thought of at The Etihad, with Spotrac claiming he earns a whopping £51,000 a week.

But Leeds fans hammered the winger, stating he was not good enough against Ipswich and must do a lot more if he is to win back his place on the side on a more regular basis.
