Leeds defender can’t believe he was on the scoresheet.
Perhaps new Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is a genius after all.
In his first pre-season game in charge he managed to get defender Luke Ayling on the scoresheet.
Ayling had never scored for Leeds in more than 70 first team appearances.
The 27-year-old sent a message on Instagram yesterday joking about his goal.
The game against Forest Green Rovers was the perfect way for Ayling to kick off his pre-season.
The defender missed four months of action through injury earlier in 2018, with Leeds’ form suffering badly in his absence.
Ayling was one of Leeds’ best players on Tuesday evening and his goal will lift his confidence ahead of the upcoming season.
It was a good sign for new boss Bielsa, who will be a lucky manager if he can have Ayling available for all 46 league games this upcoming season.
