Eddie Nketiah on target in Leeds United’s 2-0 win at Barnsley

Eddie Nketiah got his name on the scoresheet in Leeds United’s 2-0 Championship win over Barnsley at Oakwell Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Anglo-Ghanaian came off the bench in the 70th minute, replacing Patrick Bamford, and broke the deadlock in the 84th minute, with Kevin Phillips providing him with the assist.

Mateusz Klich completed the scoring from the penalty spot five minutes later.

The result has taken Marcelo Bielsa’s side back to the top of the Championship standings, tied on 16 points with Andre Ayew’s Swansea City after seven matches, but with a better goal difference.
