Leeds United attacker Helder Costa provided a match winning assist.
Helder Costa came off the bench to inspire Leeds United to a win over Brentford.
Costa’s run and assist laid on a goal which fellow substitute Eddie Nketiah simply couldn’t miss.
It was the second time he had linked up with Nketiah, following the goal against Salford a week earlier.
Costa now has shown he is ready to ascend to the Leeds starting line up.
Previously his only start came in the Carabao Cup.
Manager Marcelo Bielsa has been consistent, selecting him as a substitute in all four Championship games.
This was his biggest impact so far, and without him, Leeds probably would have drawn last night’s game.
Leeds face struggling Stoke City this weekend and the Whites should look to attack them.
Helder Costa has to start, and yesterday evening showed he is ready to play a bigger role than he has done.
Leeds have committed to paying £15 million for Costa when the season is over, The Mirror report.
Marcelo Bielsa has been prudent to hold him back so far, being extra cautious to ensure he is ready. Now its time to be bolder.
