Don Goodman has hailed Jack Harrison after Leeds United demolished Chelsea 3-0 at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.

Leeds came into the game with four points from two games, but few could have really expected this kind of display.

Chelsea just had no answer for Leeds’ intensity throughout and gifted them an opener with Brenden Aaronson robbing Edouard Mendy to score.

Rodrigo headed in Jack Harrison’s free kick before Harrison himself made it 3-0, leaving Chelsea absolutely shellshocked.

Seven points from three games is a great start for Leeds and the star of the season so far has been winger Harrison.

Much has been made of Raphinha’s departure to Barcelona this summer, with Leeds losing their star winger.

Luis Sinisterra has arrived but having suffered a pre-season injury, the emphasis has been placed on Harrison to kick on and shine under Jesse Marsch.

Harrison, 25, had a strong season last term, recording eight goals and one assist in 35 Premier League outings.

Yet in just three Premier League games this season, Harrison already has three assists and one goal to his name, proving to be a creative force.

Harrison looks to be one of the first names on Marsch’s team sheet and he is now earning huge praise.

Pundit Don Goodman told Sky Sports (21/08, 3:45pm) that he thinks Harrison is getting better and better each time he sees him in action.

Goodman added that Harrison was outstanding both and off the ball against Chelsea, picking the winger out as the man of the match.

“He just gets better,” said Goodman. “Every time I see him, he just gets better and better. He has been outstanding and what that graphic doesn’t show you is the work he does off the ball,” he added.

This is all very positive for Leeds but the problem is that Newcastle United remain keen on signing Harrison.

Newcastle have chased Harrison for much of the summer and The Athletic claim that the Magpies have now had a second bid rejected by Leeds.

The transfer deadline is in sight now and Leeds will hope to fend Newcastle off and make sure Harrison stays put at St James’ Park.
