Sky Sports pundit drools over ‘top-class’ Crysencio Summerville after Leeds United win v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough legend Stewart Downing has labelled Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville “top-class” after his goals in the 4-3 win on Monday night (22 April).
The Whites moved up to second in the Championship table after a thrilling victory at Riverside Stadium, with Summerville scoring twice and getting an assist to take his tally for the season to 19 goals and nine assists.
The Dutch winger was recently crowned Championship player of the season for his performances and Downing, appearing on Sky Sports as a pundit for the game (22 April) believes that he was the difference on the night.
“I think for Leeds, the important thing is that their big players were good tonight,” he said.
“Summerville with his goals, back on form. Bamford getting a goal. That’s what we always say, your big player will get you over the line in the end.
“Ultimately that’s what we saw. Especially Summerville, some of his goals and his finishing was top-class.”
Leeds United have a Premier League squad in the Championship
It was something that was said at the beginning of the campaign, but Leeds have shown that they have got one of the strongest squads in the division all season long.
Summerville has really stepped up to the plate to become the main man, but he has been supported incredibly by the likes of Georginio Rutter, Wilfried Gnonto and Daniel James in attack too.
With so many goals in the side, it’s just simply impossible to rule them out of being able to beat any team in the division, and with the best defensive record in the league, it shows they are ready to step up to the top flight too.
It’s a team with star quality, a manager who knows exactly what he is doing and players ready to step up into the next stage of their career.
Promotion has to happen for the team to be able to keep hold of all of those stars though, otherwise, it could turn into a really horrible summer transfer window with top clubs hovering to take them away.
In other Leeds news, one star is surely set to leave Elland Road this summer after what the club did recently.
