Kemar Roofe was the hero for Leeds United yet again.
Ronaldo Vieira has described Leeds United a striker as a ‘god’ after delivering yet another Christmas miracle for the table-topping Whites.
Roofe scored two last-minute goals as Leeds came from behind to beat Blackburn Rovers 3-2 at Elland Road on Boxing Day.
Rovers thought they had ended United’s six-match winning streak in the Championship when Charlie Mulgrew struck in stoppage time to make it 2-1.
But Roofe, who netted a last-gasp winner in Sunday’s 3-2 victory at Aston Villa, came up with even more heroics by netting twice in the dying stages.
And here’s how his former Leeds team-mate Vieira reacted to the goals on Twitter:
Marcelo Bielsa’s side still have a six-point cushion in the automatic promotion places, but they are now three points clear of second-placed Norwich City.
Leeds’ resilience under the veteran Argentine coach is something really quite remarkable and surely the Elland Road faithful – whose team are 14 points clear of seventh place – can justify dreaming about a Premier League return.
They won’t be, because hope opens the door for disappointment in their experience, but it would be perfectly understandable if some did now look to the top flight.
