Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United drew with Millwall in the Championship on Saturday.
With Kemar Roofe and Patrick Bamford injured, the onus was on Tyler Roberts to deliver the goals for Leeds United against Millwall this weekend.
Roberts is only 19 years of age, and his time at Leeds has been affected by injury and fitness concerns, but the Wales international was selected by head coach Marcelo Bielsa to lead the line against Millwall away from home at The Den in the Championship.
The teenager, though, missed some good chances and could have scored before he was substituted in the 68th minute.
It was a frustrating afternoon for Roberts – who has been at Leeds since January 2018 when he moved from West Bromwich Albion for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £2.5 million – and the following photo from the match sums up his afternoon.
