Kalvin Phillips, Helder Costa, Tyler Roberts and Ian Poveda all started in the Premier League 2 fixture at Thorp Arch – but it was the Spaniard that caught the eye with his first-half header.

With Marcelo Bielsa forced into naming a makeshift defence over the last few weeks, Leeds fans are desperate to see him back in the first-team fold.

@Juan_Diego1999: How's that possible? I thought it was illegal to score from a header inside the box

@BrettTurner85: Headed goal?! It’ll never catch on.

@Johncan76690633: We have a defender that can head a ball

@britishbulldog: Llorente back. Header from a cross. Things are looking up #MOT

@c_ellis92: Leeds are going to win the league #LUFC

@RPlufc93: He seems to like to step forward and intercept a lot, something we have missed without White, hopefully see him start against Newcastle #lufc

@LeedsUtd_News: Phillips to Llorente. Inject.

@BENNYLUFC96: Keep him fit. Could change our fortunes of late.

@dijonevans6: Guy is a class act. Can not wait to see him in the 1st team
