There were a lot of impressive performances from Leeds United in their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, but Jack Harrison was – as one Leeds fan put it – "On absolute fire".

He was playing on the right tonight, with Gjanni Alioski on the left and Helder Costa on the bench.

We'll be the first to admit that Jack Harrison wasn't the finished product last season.

But Marcelo Bielsa made getting him on loan again a priority in the summer and, as the saying goes, "In Bielsa we trust".

Harrison has been a much more consistent player this season and he was one of the best in a light blue shirt tonight.

Some fans were asking why he's been wasted out on the left and after tonight's display, it's a question that Bielsa is going to have to wrestle with.

He's still not the finished product but he's getting there and he absolutely looked like a Premier League-level winger tonight, even if Leeds eventually ran out of puff.

That's our opinion and the opinion of many Leeds fans who were loving what they saw at the Emirates.

Leeds might have ended up losing but progressing was never the aim tonight. Putting on a good show was and Leed and Harrison managed that with aplomb.

Here are the best reactions to Harrison's display on the right for Leeds...
