Leeds United winger Jack Harrison earned praise from Dean Ashton during the Premier League meeting with Leicester City on Tuesday night.
Javi Gracia’s charges hosted the Foxes at Elland Road in a Premier League relegation six-pointer in midweek.
Leeds went into the game desperate for a win after three defeats in a row and a staggering 13 goals conceded.
The first half saw the Foxes find the back of the net through Youri Tielemans, but his effort was ruled out for offside.
Leeds didn’t threaten much to begin with, but they then took the lead on 20 minutes through Luis Sinisterra.
Harrison cut inside and crossed to the back post, where his teammate arrived to head past Daniel Iversen.
However, Leicester came from behind late on to equalise through Jamie Vardy’s second of the season.
Kelechi Iheanacho and James Maddison combined to set the veteran striker up for a clinical finish.
Leeds could’ve won it in the final stages of the game, but Patrick Bamford missed a sitter.
The striker, unmarked at the back post, scuffed wide from inside the six-yard box in front of a gaping goal.
Leeds sit 16th in the table following the 1-1 draw, two points above the bottom three.
‘Wonderful’
Harrison’s cross for Sinisterra was particularly impressive, with BT Sport deeming it ‘fascinating’ and ‘wonderful’.
Ashton, commentating for Premier League production, also loved what he saw from the Leeds winger.
“The pass from Jack Harrison is Kevin De Bruyne-esque,” he said, via the Premier League website.
“He fakes to shoot and guides it, feeding it towards the back-post.
“Spots Sinisterra running in and just feeds him and it’s a brilliant header into the ground.”
Whoscored.com gave Harrison a 7.92 rating, the highest score in the match.
He registered four key passes, completed one dribble, and weighed in with two tackles, three interceptions and two clearances.
