It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Leeds United winger Jack Harrison came in for some pretty heavy criticism after the 2-1 defeat to West Ham.

Leeds fans wanted him off at half-time and Marcelo Bielsa duly obliged and some players would have wilted under that kind of pressure.

Not Harrison.

He bounced back in spectacular fashion on Wednesday night, putting in a man-of-the-match performance and capping it off with a contender for goal of the season.

He picked the ball up in his own half in the last few minutes of the game, with the score at 4-2 and ran at the Newcastle defence.

There was one of him and three Newcastle players but they looked terrified and backed off enough for him to let fly and he found the top corner of the goal.

Wow. As the official Leeds United account said, "Where do you even start in describing this goal?"

Let's not forget that Harrison had already contributed to another incredible goal when he controlled the ball out wide at full stretch before pinging in a beautiful cross for Rodrigo to score Leeds' second.

WhoScored gave him a mighty 8.4 rating, the highest on the pitch, and Harrison looked absolutely delighted in the post-match interview on Amazon.

It was another sign of what he can do when he hits top form and if Harrison could replicate this more regularly he'd be one of the best wingers in the Premier League.

Here are the best reactions to an absolutely brilliant performance...
