Summerville’s brilliant second-half brace saw Leeds to a 3-2
victory in Saturday’s Championship clash at Carrow Road in which Daniel Farke’s
side trailed 2-0 at the break. A Shane Duffy own goal from a Dan James cross
halved the deficit in the 63rd minute before a terrific strike from Summerville
drew Leeds level 14 minutes later.
With just five minutes left on the clock, Summerville’s second
goal of the game completed a stunning comeback victory as the Dutch winger
raced clear on the counter before beating Canaries keeper George Long for the
second time.
Summerville, though, was quick to thank teammate Georginio
Rutter for his pass to release him as the match-winner revealed Rutter’s
pre-match demands to him with praise for the record signing and also United’s
travelling fans.
"He always says to me before the game, ‘if I give you
an assist, you have to score’ and I am happy with the goal so thanks to
Georginio,” said a delighted Summerville to LUTV.
"I had two big chances in the first half so I thought
to myself ‘the next chance is going to be on target first’. I tried to hit the
frame and it went in so it gave me confidence as well so the second one was not
hard to score again.
"It was difficult at the beginning, we created many
chances but the ball didn't go in. But because obviously we played very well,
we just stuck to the plan and we got the win in the second half so I'm very
happy.”
Leeds created a raft of opportunities in an end to end first
half yet trailed 2-0 at the break through Canaries strikes from Duffy and
Gabriel Sara.
"The coach said we have to keep going because he said
‘this is football, if you don't score, the other team is going to do it for
you,” said Summerville. “We were in a good run because we played very well but
I think we were then more focused and there is where the goals came."
