Both Leeds United players were sensational on Saturday.

Jack Harrison has paid tribute to Leeds United team-mate Tyler Roberts for his performance in Saturday’s 2-0 win over QPR at Elland Road.

On his return to Leeds’ first XI, Roberts opened the scoring for Marcelo Bielsa’s side following great work from Harrison, who was playing at left-back.

It was his all-round performance which delighted the Whites’ support and many believe that he is just what their side has been missing.

The Wales international was not available for selection for the first couple of months of this season due to injury, and Harrison admits that his colleague posted a ‘brilliant’ display.

He told LUTV: “Yeah he set us off right. Great finish by him, a nice and low finish. We literally just spoke about that. He’s played brilliant tonight.”

Harrison wasn’t bad himself.

The Leeds winger, on loan from Manchester City, set up Roberts’s opener and then got on the scoresheet himself during the second half.

The 22-year-old now has four assists and one goal in his last five Championship outings under Bielsa.

He is finally looking a little more like the player who Manchester City demanded £20 million for [The Sun] this past summer, though he isn’t quite worth that amount just yet.
