Leeds United lost against Sheffield United in the Championship on Saturday.
Lasogga scored for Leeds in their Championship game against United away from home at Bramall Lane on Saturday afternoon.
Heckingbottom has praised the 26-year-old striker, and so have the Leeds fans on social networking site Twitter.
“Great strike first half, took his goal well and he has shown that in training already so he has to continue showing that,” Heckingbottom told Leeds Live about Lasogga.
Good display
Lasogga, who joined Leeds on a season-long loan deal from Hamburg in the summer of 2017, has not been in great form lately.
The German striker has blown hot and cold this season and has been inconsistent, much like Leeds.
The 26-year-old’s performance against United, though, was very encouraging, and perhaps the goal will now propel him to greater heights.
Leeds’s performance in the second half against United was positive, but the visiting team failed to do much of note in the first 45 minutes at United.
For Leeds to finish in the top six of the Championship this season, they need to start winning games from now.
