‘Outrageous’, ‘Best ever game for us’ – These Leeds fans hail one player after stunning 3-2 win
It’s oft said that football is a game of two halves but never was it truer than at Elland Road last night.
The first 45 minutes were among the worst we’ve seen from Leeds this season.
Marcelo Bielsa said his side looked confused for the first five minutes and the game nearly got away from them.
The officiating might have been poor but Leeds could have no real complaints about going in at half-time 2-0 down.
However, the second half was as brilliant as the first was terrible.
Leeds came out a completely different side and one of the chief architects behind the recovery was Gjanni Alioksi.
He was absolutely relentless down the left-hand side and fans loved his passion that typified a swashbuckling 45 minutes for Leeds.
When they play like this Leeds are unstoppable. The only problem is they seem unable to do it for both halves of a game.
That cost them against Arsenal but they got the reward their football demanded last night and should have won by more.
Alisoki even found time to kiss a ball-girl in the second half and there were plenty of Leeds fans who would have returned the favour after the full-time whistle went.
Here are the best reactions to Elland Road’s cult hero…
