Rio Ferdinand was blown away by the performance of Leeds United winger Jack Harrison in the Premier League clash against Spurs.

The Manchester City loanee played a huge role in our opening two goals scored by Stuart Dallas and Patrick Bamford at Elland Road.

Ferdinand was thrilled by Harrison's "majestic" movement and insisted that Serge Aurier simply couldn't handle him.

Speaking on BT Sport's live coverage of the game, Ferdinand was lost for words when describing the impact of Harrison down the left.

"The movement has been majestic," he said.

"Spurs haven't been able to match it and this goal was fantastic. Harrison, who has been tremendous, he's been the dangerman, one v one with Aurier, goes past him easily."

Unplayable.

With Rpahinha back on the bench for the Whites, Harrison needed a big performance to keep his name in the starting XI moving forward.

The Brazilian being back available obviously shot new life into the winger, and he was irresistable down the left, with Serge Aurier simply out of his depth.

Harrison had three shots on goal but also completed four key passes according to WhoScored, and his delivery was out of this world.

Patrick Bamford singled out the wingers for immense praise after the game, and his partnership with the likes of Harrison has been instrumental at times.

We are looking forward to the future, with Glenn Hoddle backing up Ferdinand's claims and predicting some big seasons ahead under Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road.
