The £2.5 million January signing scored his first Leeds United goal on Tuesday.
Leeds United may have lost 4-3 against Oxford United on Tuesday, but at least one Whites player can hold his head high in the eyes of some fans.
Tyler Roberts arrived at Leeds from West Bromwich Albion in January, although injury forced him out of the remainder of the campaign.
It wasn’t until Saturday’s pre-season draw with Southend United that Roberts finally appeared in Whites colours.
And it took less than 10 minutes of the 19-year-old’s second outing for his first goal to arrive – a Thierry Henry-esque side-foot from just inside the box which nestled in the top corner.
Do Leeds have a potential star on their hands? This is what’s being said about Roberts on Twitter…
Oxford United raced into a 3-0 lead against Marcelo Bielsa’s team, courtesy of two James Henry goals and one from Rob Hall.
Jon Obika restored the hosts’ three-goal advantage shortly after Roberts’ striker, before Lewis Baker and Jack Clarke reduced Leeds’ embarrassment.
