Pontus Jansson scored for Leeds United against Norwich City in the Championship on Saturday.
Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson has told BBC Sport that he was delighted to have celebrated with the fans on Saturday afternoon.
Jansson celebrated with the Leeds supporters following his goal against Norwich City away from home at Carrow Road.
The 25-year-old defender, who joined the Whites on a season-long loan deal from Italian club Torino in the summer transfer window, scored in the 57th minute of the Championship match.
The centre-back celebrated with the fans, and the Sweden international has said that it was special to do so.
“It was crazy being among the fans celebrating and there is a special feeling,” Jansson told BBC Sport. “They wouldn’t let me come back on the pitch!”
Jansson has established himself as a key player for Leeds and has been playing well this season.
The Swede is very popular among the Championship club’s fans, who must be thrilled with the team’s current situation.
Leeds are in the playoffs at the moment and are genuine contenders for a top-six finish in the Championship this season.
The 3-2 win against fellow promotion hopefuls Norwich on Saturday suggests that the Whites do have what it takes to achieve success this season.
