Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Wolverhampton Wanderers-owned winger Helder Costa against Nottingham Forest.

Costa, who joined Leeds on loan from Premier League outfit Wolves in the summer of 2019, was in action against Forest away from home at the City Ground in the Championship on Saturday evening.

The 26-year-old winger started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes, as Marcelo Bielsa’s side lost 2-0.

The Portugal international had yet another disappointing game on a personal level, as he was ineffective, failed to trouble the Forest backline and struggled to control the ball on a few occasions.

According to WhoScored, Costa took one shot which was not on target, played two key passes, had a pass accuracy of 85.7%, won one header, took 50 touches, attempted one dribble, made two tackles and two clearances, and made eight clearances.

So far this season, the Wolves-owned winger has made 21 starts and 10 substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds, scoring three goals and providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.

Leeds fans were not impressed with the display produced by Costa against Forest and have criticised him on Twitter.

Below are some of the best comments:
