Leeds United cult hero Paul Robinson lauded Whites forward Rodrigo Moreno in Tuesday night’s meeting with Leicester City.
Javi Gracia’s charges hosted the Foxes at Elland Road in a Premier League relegation six-pointer in midweek.
Leeds went into the game desperate for a win after three defeats in a row and a staggering 13 goals conceded.
The first half saw the Foxes find the back of the net through Youri Tielemans, but his effort was ruled out for offside.
Leeds didn’t threaten much to begin with, but they then took the lead on 20 minutes through Luis Sinisterra.
Jack Harrison cut inside and crossed to the back post, where his teammate arrived to head past Daniel Iversen.
However, Leicester came from behind late on to equalise through Jamie Vardy’s second of the season.
Kelechi Iheanacho and James Maddison combined to set the veteran striker up for a clinical finish.

‘Leading by example’
Although Rodrigo didn’t get on the scoresheet, he put in solid shift for Leeds offensively and defensively.
As per Whoscored, he registered two shots during the game and won four aerial challenges.
Rodrigo also weighed in with four tackles, one interception and one clearance ahead of his 67th-minute substitution.
Robinson, speaking on Radio 5 Live, loved what he saw from the Spaniard and lauded his efforts just before half time.
“There seems to be a togetherness and determination from Leeds,” Robinson said, via the BBC Sport website.
“Rodrigo is leading by example and closing down from the front.”
