Leeds star saw the funny side of an effort on goal in their win.

Liam Cooper of Leeds United

Leeds United defender Liam Cooper is not known for scoring goals.

But he tried a couple of times in Leeds’ win over QPR. He had two attempts, both of which missed the target.

Leeds won the game 2-0, with Tyler Roberts and Jack Harrison on target.

Club captain Cooper was asked about his attempt on goal by a fan on social media, before responding to say he would rather not talk about it.

Cooper could afford to see the funny side of it, after a match Leeds won and he helped them keep a clean sheet.

This was Cooper’s first start for Leeds after missing a month of action with injury. He had made his return as a substitute the previous week against Sheffield Wednesday.

A clean sheet maintains Leeds’ record as having the meanest defence in the Championship, they have conceded only eight goals in 15 matches, and they sit in second place, level on points with Preston who are in first.
