The former Leeds United midfielder was on the winning side at Elland Road.
Matt Grimes came back to haunt Leeds United on Saturday.
The Swansea City star posted a strong midfield performance yesterday as the visitors beat Marcelo Bielsa’s side 1-0 at Elland Road.
It was something of a smash and grab win for the South Wales outfit, with Wayne Routledge netting a last-minute winner as Swansea leapfrogged Leeds at the summit of the Championship table.
Grimes could be forgiven for taking extra satisfaction in the victory, after enduring a dreadful loan spell in West Yorkshire during the 2016-17 campaign.
The 24-year-old, who played only 152 minutes of Championship football at Leeds, sent two simple post-match tweets after the game.
Grimes, who was signed by former Swansea boss Garry Monk three years ago, was last seen in a Leeds shirt in January of 2017 after the shock FA Cup exit by Sutton United.
He later admitted that ‘it just didn’t happen for me’ in West Yorkshire, but the Exeter-born midfielder has established himself as an excellent Championship player nonetheless, starting 40 league games for the Swans last term.
