Some Leeds United fans on social media have been reacting after a clip of Junior Firpo celebrating Raphinha’s penalty emerged.

Raphinha netted the winning goal against Crystal Palace from the spot in the dying moments this week, and it’s fair to say that Elland Road erupted when the Brazilian converted his spot kick.

While over 30,000 people in the stadium were going crazy, Junior Firpo had something of a different reaction. He simply dropped to his knees and looked to the sky, the Spaniard painted a picture of sheer relief and pure passion.

As you can imagine, Leeds fans loved to see how much Firpo was invested in the moment.

The Spaniard is a new signing and while he may not be fully settled in west Yorkshire yet, it already seems as though he absolutely loves the club and the fanbase.

Here’s what Leeds supporters have been saying about this moment on social media…
