Clinton Morrison has criticised Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville on BBC Radio 5 Live (3:51pm, February 5, 2023) for failing to take his late chance against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The former Crystal Palace forward believes that Summerville should not have gone for goal himself with a shot when he had other Leeds players around him.

The incident happened in the final two minutes of injury time.

It was the final Leeds attacking move.

Leeds got a free kick.

Goalkeeper Illan Meslier almost his head to it.

The ball came to Wilfried Gnonto, who spread it to Summerville

Summerville decided to take a shot on goal himself instead of passing the ball to one of his Leeds teammates.

There were so many near him.

Forest were 1-0 up at that stage.

Steve Cooper’s side held on and won the Premier League match 1-0.

This means that Forest have enhanced their chances of escaping the dreaded drop to the Championship at the end of the season.

As for Leeds, they remain in deep trouble.

Morrison said: “What have I seen? I cannot believe it. What are you doing Summerville?

“If I am a player on that pitch, I am having a right go (at home). He is trying to score from 30 yards when he has got a whole lot of bodies in front of him. Get the ball back in the box, mate.”
