Leeds United’s Under-18’s were in action on Saturday afternoon.
Leeds United’s first team don’t have a fixture this weekend, with Marcelo Bielsa’s men out of the FA Cup and no league game scheduled.
However, that has given the spotlight to the Leeds Under-18’s this weekend, who took on Nottingham Forest at Thorp Arch on Saturday.
The game ended in a draw, as Will Swan’s superb goal with the outside of his right foot equalised for Forest, after Niklas Haugland had put Leeds in front.
Neither side could find a winner, but Leeds fans will be absolutely buzzing with Haugland’s continued promise in the Under-18’s.
The 16-year-old is not only impressing with Leeds, but also scored twice on international duty with Norway’s Under-17’s against Romania lat week.
Having returned to Thorp Arch, the forward was back among the goals for Leeds Under-18’s, scoring a fine solo effort against Forest.
Haugland took to Instagram to post a video of the goal, which Leeds fans should be hugely excited by as the summer arrival looks set to become the latest hot prospect from the Leeds academy.
