Simon Johnson has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Leeds United left-back Ezgjan Alioski pulling funny faces today.

In the second half of the Premier League game between Burnley and Leeds at Turf Moor this afternoon, Alioski made funny faces, seemingly at midfielder Dwight McNeil, as shown below.

The 29-year-old left-back is a character, and former Leeds attacking midfielder Johnson has given his take on the North Macedonia international’s actions today.

It was an easy win for Leeds in the end, and Alioski played well.

According to WhoScored, Alioski took two shots and they were not on target, played two key passes, had a pass accuracy of 77.5%, took 56 touches, and put in two crosses.

The Leeds star has made 27 starts and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Whites this season, scoring two goals and providing three assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Alioski is out of contract at Leeds at the end of the season, and it is likely that he will not be at Elland Road for the 2021-22 campaign.

The left-back will be a miss for Leeds.
