Gary Lineker makes Leeds United declaration after five-star Newcastle United showing
FORMER England star and Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker hailed Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United side and a stunning fifth goal after Wednesday night's blitz of Newcastle United.
Leeds eventually helped themselves to a nap hand of goals via five different scorers as Patrick Bamford, Rodrigo, Stuart Dallas, Gjanni Alioski and Jack Harrison all beat Magpies 'keeper Karl Darlow.
Not surprisingly, Lineker was particularly impressed with Leeds' fifth goal as Harrison rounded off the victory in style with a rocket of a shot from 25 yards out that flew into the top right corner following a rapid Whites counter.
"Love watching Leeds United play," said Lineker on a post on his Twitter page.
"Banged in five tonight and the final goal from Jack Harrison is an absolute belter."
