Former Leeds star returned to Elland Road… in an Aston Villa shirt.

Robert Snodgrass of Aston Villa looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Preston North End and Aston Villa at Deepdale on November 1, 2017 in Preston, England.

Former Leeds United winger Robert Snodgrass returned to Elland Road with Aston Villa last night.

The Scotsman played his role in a competitive 1-1 draw, although was far from his best, having entered the game in good form.

Leeds took the lead early with a Pontus Jansson header, before substitute Henri Lansbury scored an impressive second half equaliser to claim a draw for the visitors.

Snodgrass had a mixed reception, with sections of fans booing him, still disappointed that he quit the club to join Norwich City.

Snodgrass played for Leeds United between 2008 and 2012, and became a real fan favourite, before joining the Canaries and has since played for Hull City and West Ham, who loaned him out to the Villans.

The Leeds official twitter account even made a light hearted comment at his expense upon his return, seeing him go up against Gaetano Berardi.

Many Leeds fans were keen for the club sign Snodgrass on loan in the summer but the Whites did go in for his services.

Last night he failed to prove them wrong in that decision.
