Leeds United overcame Nottingham Forest on Wednesday evening and the midfielder played a blinder.
Leeds United got back to winning ways this week when they overcame Nottingham Forest courtesy of goals from Chris Wood and Souleymane Doukara.
While the scorers took the plaudits, there was another Leeds player who had one of his best outings since arriving at Elland Road.
Liam Bridcutt has blossomed at Leeds, first during a loan spell and then after making a permanent switch back in the summer. However this was a step up in performance level as he bossed the midfield throughout and allowed those around him to do what they do best.
| Passing Accuracy | Tackles Won | Duels Won | Aerials Won | Ball Recoveries | Dispossessed | Touches | Effective Clearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liam Bridcutt | 83% | 4 | 13 | 4 | 8 | 0 | 64 | 2 | 90 |
The Leeds skipper had a passing accuracy of 83 per cent while he won four tackles, four aerial battles and a superb 13 duels, bossing the game throughout.
He also recovered the ball on eight occasions and he was not dispossessed all evening, proving his importance in the centre of the park.
With two effective clearances and 64 touches, the Leeds player did everything asked of him and on this evidence he will be vital for the club not just in the Championship but also when they finally return to the top flight.
