Leeds United have won an incredible game against Norwich City at Carrow Road. The Yorkshire side have won 3-2 against the Canaries at Carrow Road.

Goals from Pontus Jansson, Chris Wood and a first one for the club from Ronaldo Vieira did the trick as Leeds picked up an incredible result against the Canaries.

The result also pushed Leeds, temporarily at least, into the Championship play-off places and fans of the club are daring to dream under the management of Garry Monk.

Former Leeds United striker and BBC pundit Noel Whelan has been reacting to the game this afternoon and he was full of praise for one substitute – as well as the whole club.

He said of winger Hadi Sacko on BBC Radio Leeds:

“When you talk about a squad, we saw that today.

“I have got to say Sacko, what an addition when he comes on. He just frightens the life out of defenders with his trickery, skill, pace how direct he is.

“But this win goes down to the whole group at Leeds. Every player was integral.”

Sacko came on in the 55th minute for Kemar Roofe and the Frenchman put in a brilliant virtuoso display that helped Leeds to their fantastic win.

He has been an inconsistent player for Leeds this season since his arrival from Sporting Lisbon but on his day he is proving unplayable.

If he and Leeds can keep up this form, they may just find themselves in the top six at the end of the season.
