Sky Sports pundit gushes over Leeds United midfielder Weston McKennie in Everton Premier League clash
Leon Osman was impressed by the clearance off the line Weston McKennie made in the Leeds United v Everton clash on Saturday, 18 February.
Neal Maupay had a glorious chance to score little after the half hour mark and his header was destined for the back of the net.
However, McKennie used his knee to prevent it from crossing the line and he cleared the ball away to keep the clean sheet intact.
Speaking on the Premier League world feed at 15:33 on 18/02, Osman, a Sky Sports pundit said, “Wow, that’s great. An important clearance off the line from McKennie.”
Need to win this
There’s a very good chance that the relegation battle ends up going down to the wire and Leeds and Everton could be fighting for 17th.
The Whites have experienced what relegation battles on the final day can be like and they surely will not be wanting another season where it ends up being that nervy.
However, if they lose this six pointer, it will give the Toffees an unreal momentum boost and that could be pivotal in their run to finish outside the bottom three.
They’ve got to do better as the home side are playing the game on their terms and they have the backing of the home fans as well.
Hopefully, Michael Skubala has a go at his players at half-time and we see a different side in the second period of the game.
Leeds also need to make their managerial appointment as soon as possible as there needs to be clarity surrounding the rest of the season.
