Victor Orta was apparently the picture of animation during Leeds United’s winner.

Victor Orta is certainly emotionally invested in Leeds United.

United beat Brentford 1-0 at Elland Road on Wednesday to make it 10 points from a possible 12 in the Championship so far.

And it was two new boys who combined well for the goal, as Helder Costa crossed the ball for Arsenal loanee Eddie Nketiah to tap into an empty net on 81 minutes during what was his home debut for Leeds.

Director of Football Orta is the man pulling the strings behind transfers in West Yorkshire and it looks like he celebrated that goal as much as anybody inside Elland Road last night.

According to Graham Smyth of The Yorkshire Evening Post, the Spaniard was the picture of euphoria and animation when Nketiah scored the winner.

And here’s how some Leeds fans reacted on Twitter.

One supporter even posted a photo of a television monitor that was ripped from the wall, but there is no evidence to say that it happened during Orta’s celebrations.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side are top of the Championship after four games, ahead of Swansea City on goal difference.

Next up for the Whites is a trip to Stoke City on Saturday.
