Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to react to footage of Jack Harrison and Rodrigo linking up to score against Newcastle in the 5-2 win.

The goal is, quite simply, one to behold. From our perspective, we could watch it over and over again.

Then, his cross is even better, and arguably the best aspect of the goal.

With the ball bouncing, Harrison volleys a laser-guided cross straight on to the former Valencia man’s head, where he then powers an effort into the bottom right corner.

Harrison’s late, long-range scorcher will get the headlines, understandably.

However, in our view, this was the best goal of the night, as Marcelo Bielsa’s side ran riot against the Magpies.

The two Leeds players involved are having excellent seasons. £26 million man Rodrigo now has two goals in five Premier League starts, whereas Harrison’s stats this term are outstanding.

The Leeds No.22 has two goals and four assists in 12 Premier League starts, and ranks among some truly world-class names in the key passes per game charts.

As WhoScored shows, only Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Bruno Fernandes, Riyad Mahrez, Joao Cancelo and James Rodriguez have been more creative this season.

Let’s see how the Leeds fans on Twitter reacted to the footage…
