Leeds striker is back to his best.

One of the busiest part of Leeds United’s summer was getting rid of the many players Marcelo Bielsa decided he did not want.

Bielsa made up his mind about several players before seeing them first hand, one of which was Marcus Antonsson.

Antonsson was sold to Swedish side Malmo and has not looked back.

He scored again for Malmo in the Europa League last night, his third goal in the competition.

It secured a 1-0 away win over Besiktas, booking Malmo’s place in the Europa League last 32.

Antonsson is enjoying career revival in Sweden.

Since leaving Leeds on July 14, Antonsson has scored 13 times.

He has struck eight league goals, three in the Europa League group stages, and two in the qualifying rounds.

Antonsson never really got a regular run of games at Leeds and only scored three times for the Whites.

If Leeds are not regretting not keeping him, then Blackburn might be, having had the Swede on loan at Ewood Park all last season.
