Leeds fans are full of praise for Raphinha after Southampton win
Raphinha shined once again as Leeds United comfortably beat Southampton 3-0, and fans rushed to applaud him after the game.
The Brazilian is arguably our most talented player and proved his wizardry by scoring a free-kick late in the match.
It was scant reward for an absolute masterclass.
He now has three goals and three assists in his last seven games and after the match Marcelo Bielsa praised the threat he provides on both the right and the left.
It is little surprise that he has reportedly attracted interest from Manchester United and Liverpool.
If he maintains his current form more clubs are bound to be linked, which is why some supporters are keen to tie him down for the long-term.
Those reactions may be tongue in cheek but an improved contract may well be necessary sooner rather than later.
past Phillips, Raphinha is perhaps already our most important player and is simply a joy to watch.
It is brilliant to see Patrick Bamford getting so many goals while Stuart Dallas is also playing exceptionally, but there is nobody quite like Raphinha at the club.
The Brazilian possesses so much flair and you never know what he is going to do next – that is why he is so entertaining.
On Tuesday he made two successful dribbles and had a key influence in the attacking final third with four key passes (WhoScored).
It is no surprise he gained praise from Leeds fans, with some of their reactions shown below.
