Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell was in impressive form against Sunderland.
Leeds picked up a 1-1 draw against Sunderland, after putting in another disappointing display.
Sunderland look destined to drop into League One this season, yet they still managed to come to Elland Road and cause problems.
And if it wasn’t for Peacock-Farrell, Leeds may well have lost in the contest.
The youngster pulled off a number of good saves, as he continued to impress in goal for Heckingbottom’s side.
And the Leeds boss said: “His personality is showing on the pitch. he has a good calmness about him. We want to improve his game management and decision making, but he’s making good saves. Because of the highlights reel, both goalkeepers will look world class.”
Peacock-Farrell’s form has been one of the few positives of Heckingbottom’s reign so far.
Leeds have struggled to find a consistent number one this term, with Felix Wiedwald and Andy Lonergan both struggling for form.
There is now talk that Peacock-Farrell could establish himself as Leeds’ number one stopper for next term, although it remains to be seen if Heckingbottom will keep faith in the prospect.
