Leeds United battled their way to 0-0 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday night, with Tyler Roberts one of few players to be praised.
The Whites were second best in the first half as Brighton created chance after chance but couldn’t score.
Leeds again weren’t at their best and had Illan Meslier to thank for a number of fine stops.
Yet towards the end of the game, Leeds did look dangerous and capable of finding the opening goal.
Substitute Tyler Roberts forced a couple of fine saves from Robert Sanchez, going closer than any other Leeds player.
Roberts is often criticised by Leeds fans given that his goal return has, ultimately, been rather disappointing.
With just eight goals in 98 games for Leeds, Roberts hasn’t been a huge goal threat for the Whites.
Still, he looked more likely than anybody else on Saturday and earned praise on Twitter.
Some felt that Roberts was ‘class’ against Brighton and was Leeds’ best player on the pitch.
Others think Roberts changed the game and deserves praise from many who normally criticise him.
There were acknowledgements that it may not be popular to say how good Roberts was, but that he had earned the praise coming his way.
