Sky Sports pundit delivers Raphinha verdict in Leeds United v Brentford
Leeds United ace Raphinha has been praised by Garry Birtles for setting up Tyler Roberts’ opening goal against Brentford on Sunday.
The Brazilian played an impeccable ball into the stride of the Leeds attacker who slotted the ball into the Brentford goal.
He attempted two crosses and the second one was what earned praise from Birtles, a Sky Sports pundit.
Speaking on the Premier League World Feed, he said, “Look at the difference in the two crosses. The delivery is all it’s about. Incredible ball by Raphinha.”

Whenever Raphinha has the ball at his feet, we know that he’s going to work some magic with it.
Usually, that ends up with him finding the back of the net, but he often sets up chances on a plate for his teammates.
The ball for Roberts was played from an uncustomary left-wing position as he spent the last minute closing the ball down.
He took the ball into his stride, ran with it and played a magnificent cross at the second time of asking.
Raphinha has been one of the best players for the Whites yet again and we’re hoping to see more of the same from him in the second period.
It’s important that they look to score more goals rather than being content with just the one goal.
Marcelo Bielsa will not allow his players to drop deep and will be pushing them to add to their advantage.
