Further celebrations are in store for thriving young Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville, fresh from his "dream" winner in victory at Liverpool.

Dutch ace Summerville bagged his first goal for Leeds in
last weekend's 3-2 loss at home to Fulham but the winger savoured an altogether
different high in Saturday evening's Premier League clash at Anfield. An
end-to-end game appeared destined to end in a 1-1 draw but the lively
Summerville pounced on to a loose ball following substitute Willy Gnonto's
cross in the 89th minute before squeezing home a neat finish after a touch from
Patrick Bamford.
His strike ended United's long wait for a win which had
stretched to eight games and Netherlands under-21s international Summerville
said the goal was a "big moment" in his young career. Less than 24
hours later, more magic moments now await on Sunday as the young Whites star
celebrates his 21st birthday which he is spending with his family in Holland.
Asked not just about his goal but his 21st being the
following day - and pressed on his journey so far - Summerville told Sky
Sports: "That's right! As a young kid I played for Feyenoord. I always
dreamed of playing in the Premier League and to score at Anfield is just a dream
for every kid. I can't describe my feelings right now. I saw it, it went
quickly. When you are in the box you have to think quickly so it just happened!
It's a huge moment for me and my family, scoring at Anfield - it's a big moment
for me."
Asked where his family were as he bagged his brilliant
winner, Summerville revealed: "They are at home in Holland but I will
visit tomorrow as it's my birthday! This one is going to be special"
