Leeds United: Connor Roberts sends ‘magic’ message to Joe Rodon after 2-0 win v Millwall
Leeds United ace Connor Roberts has sent a message to teammate Joe Rodon following the 2-0 win versus Millwall.
The Whites moved top of the Championship table with the three points at Elland Road on Sunday (17 March).
Wilfried Gnonto and Daniel James scored the goals, with Rodon playing the entire match and Roberts coming on in the 90th minute.
Taking to social media after the win, Rodon posted on Instagram: “3 points and Connor Roberts the tash lives on.”
Roberts commented: “Watch out the boys are on fire. Joey Rodon’s magic, he wears a magic hat.”
Leeds United soar to the summit after win versus Millwall
It threatened to be a difficult afternoon at Elland Road, with Millwall coming to West Yorkshire in need of points as they look to climb the Championship table.
But it was another professional performance from the hosts, with Gnonto putting them 1-0 up after 33 minutes before James secured the points in the 79th minute.
The attackers certainly did their job, as did Tottenham Hotspur loanee Rodon and his fellow Leeds defenders, with confidence now really at an all-time high at Elland Road.
Farke will be delighted with the display and result, with the Whites now ahead of Leicester City on goal difference, with both clubs on 82 points.
The league leaders have a +42 tally in terms of goals scored and conceded, with the Foxes on +41, although the latter do have a game in hand.
Unfortunately now for Farke and his players, their momentum will undoubtedly be broken up, with club football now taking a brief break for international action.
