Jermaine Jenas could not believe his eyes at Leeds United sensation Joe Gelhardt after the 1-1 draw against Brighton at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.

The young wonder pulled out an outrageous piece of skill before crossing for Pascal Struijk to head home and take the Whites out of the relegation zone.

Jenas labelled Gelhardt as “incredible” as he created the goal that could keep Leeds in the Premier League with the final weekend quickly approaching.

Speaking live on Match of the Day 2 on Sunday [15 May], Jenas could not believe what he had witnessed as Gelhardt crafted the all-important equaliser.

“Gelhardt then comes to life,” he said.

“This bit of skill here is one of the best pieces of skill you’re going to see all year from a lad who has stuck at it all game and provided the assist for potentially what is going to be for a goal that is going to keep them in the league.

“That bit of skill there from Gelhardt is incredible.”

Magic.

Gelhardt is going to be critical to getting any sort of positive result at Brentford next weekend, in a game where we may need to take all three points.

If Burnley lose at Aston Villa on Thursday evening, we only need to better their result on the final day.

Should they win or draw that game in hand, Leeds will need to take all three points from the Bees if they want to stay in the Premier League.

Either way, Leeds need to go to London with the only goal of three points and Gelhardt will be central to any hopes of that for Jesse Marsch and the fans.

This piece of skill was out of this world, and to have that much composure at such a critical time of a game is unbelievable, but Gelhardt was the coolest man in Elland Road.

There are no doubts that he will be starting next weekend, let’s hope he can mastermind us to a huge win.
