Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell was involved in both of Northern Ireland’s Euro 2020 qualifying wins from the off during the last international break.

The Whites bench-warmer kept a clean sheet in the 2-0 win over Estonia and pulled off one particularly great save in the following game, the 2-1 triumph over Belarus.

Against Estonia, he was alert when needed to be in the second half, coming off his line to deny Henri Anier, and was given a 7 out of 10 by the Belfast Telegraph.

In the Belarus game, Peacock-Farrell saw an Igor Stasevich effort loop over him after taking a deflection off Leeds teammate Stuart Dallas.

Later on, however, the 22-year-old made a stunning point-blank save to prevent Pavel Nekhaychik from putting the hosts level again, and was given an 8 out of 10 by the Belfast Telegraph.

Before the international break, Leeds’ January signing Kiko Casilla was sent off during his side’s 1-0 defeat to promotion rivals Sheffield United.

This has now opened the door for Peacock-Farrell to return, potentially in Saturday’s Championship meeting with Millwall.

The Leeds Twitter channel retweeted Northern Ireland’s video of the youngster’s saves for Our Wee Country:
