Leeds defender produced another outstanding display.
Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson was at his best once again as the Whites beat Birmingham City 2-0.
Jansson was dominant in the air, protecting his goal at all costs and ensuring the backline remained strong even after Liam Cooper was substituted midway through the second half.
After missing the opening game of the season in which Leeds conceded three goals, he has marshalled a rock solid defence which has not conceded in their last six league matches.
The Swedish defender is now in his second season at the club and continues to justify his cult hero status with one inspirational performance after another.
The defensive run Leeds are on is unrivalled in the Championship and enabled them to close out a tight game at Elland Road last night, thanks to Samu Saiz and Stuart Dallas’ goals.
Leeds ended the night at the top of the Championship, a position they can but dream of finishing in at the end of the season.
Jansson is the key man in Leeds’ success and helps provide the attacking players with the confidence to thrive.
Here is a look at how Leeds United fans reacted on Twitter to Jansson’s performance.
