Mateo Joseph helped Leeds turn Monday night’s hosting of
Sunderland on its head.
Young Whites striker Mateo Joseph has issued a message to
Leeds United’s fans following Monday’s incredible victory against Sunderland.
Joseph was again named on the bench for Monday evening’s
Championship hosting of the Black Cats and brought on just as Pascal Struijk’s
header had drawn Leeds level in response to Wilson Isidor’s opener.
Playing upfront in a cauldron of noise, Joseph charged about
with some ferocious pressing as Leeds looked to complete a comeback victory
which was achieved in incredible style as Struijk headed home a 95th-minute
winner.
Wild celebrations followed inside the club’s famous ground
and 21-year-old forward Joseph has saluted the role played by United’s
supporters.
Taking to his Instagram page, Joseph wrote: “Just wanted to
take a moment to say thank you to the Leeds fans. The atmosphere yesterday was
unreal and the way this team comes together is special.”
