The Leeds United Under-23 side won against their Sheffield United counterparts on Monday, with Tyler Roberts and Jack Harrison in action.

Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the Under-23 side earning a penalty against their Sheffield United counterparts on Monday afternoon.

The Leeds Under-23 side returned to winning ways in the Professional Development League with a 3-1 win against United at Stocksbridge Park.

Among the players for the Whites were first-team squad players Tyler Roberts and Jack Harrison.

Leeds took the lead from the penalty spot, when Harrison fell down inside the United box and Roberts scored.

Fans of the Whites were pleasantly surprised – and pleased – to see Leeds being awarded a spot kick, even though that did not come in a Championship match.

As reported in The Yorkshire Evening Post, the last time Leeds were awarded a penalty was back in October 14, 2017 against Reading.

There have been many occasions in the Championship when the West Yorkshire outfit could and probably have been awarded spot-kicks.

The Leeds senior side will return to action on Tuesday evening when they take on Reading at Elland Road in the Championship.
