Ronaldo Vieira played well for Leeds United against Bristol City in the Championship at the weekend.

Leeds United head coach Thomas Christiansen has told BBC Radio Leeds that Ronaldo Vieira was perfect against Bristol City at the weekend.

Vieira featured for Leeds in their Championship game against City away from home at the Ashton Gate Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The 19-year-old midfielder started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes, as the West Yorkshire outfit won 3-0.

It was the first league start for the talented and promising teenage midfielder, and his performance was very encouraging.

The England Under-20 international played an important role in the win for Leeds, and head coach Christiansen has spoken highly of him.

“I believe Ronny was absolutely perfect,” Christiansen told BBC Radio Leeds after the match on Saturday. “He had the possibility today to prove that he’s back and I’m very happy to have this player with me.”

Leeds legend Eddie Gray was impressed with the performance of Vieira and told LUTV: “Especially in the away games where you have got to be physically strong, where you have to stand up to the opposition, even though he is only a young player, he can do that.”

Vieira is one of the best young midfielders in the Championship, and the teenager’s performance against City shows that he deserves to play regularly for Leeds.

The West Yorkshire outfit will return to action on Tuesday evening when they take on Premier League outfit Leicester City away from home at the King Power Stadium in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.
