Paul Heckingbottom showers praise on Samu Saiz

Leeds United ended their 10-game winless run with a 1-0 victory against Brentford in the Championship clash on Saturday.

Liam Cooper scored the only goal of the match in the 31st minute to earn Paul Heckingbottom his first win as a Leeds manager.

After the match, Heckingbottom has showered praise on a number of players, including Samuel Saiz, who produced yet another strong performance.

The 27-year-old, who joined Leeds last summer from Huesca, has shown flashes of brilliance at times in his first season, and Heckingbottom feels he can make him an even better player.
