Leeds United players dedicate Newcastle United victory to physio Rob Price

Leeds United's players have dedicated their Premier League victory at Newcastle United to Head of Medicine and Performance Rob Price.

The Whites travelled to face the Magpies at St James' Park on Tuesday night in the top flight following a 10 day break from action.

Goals from Raphinha and Jack Harrison in either half were enough to lift Marcelo Bielsa's outfit to a 2-1 victory despite Miguel Almiron getting on the scoresheet for Steve Bruce's hosts.

United's players took to social media after the game to dedicate the three points to the club's Head of Medicine.

No details were revealed but Leeds' first team squad were unified in their support for the Whites physio.

Club captain Liam Cooper led the tributes: "When one suffers we all suffer. Condolences to Rob and his family. That was for you and yours mate."

Kalvin Phillips said: "Hard fought win! That one is for Big Rob and the Price family. We are all thinking of you mate."

Rodrigo and Jack Harrison also sent well wishes post-match.

"We dedicate the victory to this big man," wrote the Spain international. "We all love you “uncle” Rob!"

Harrison added: "Good fight to the last minute, very important three points! For Rob and his family."

United's majority owner Andrea Radrizzani also tweeted a message of support: "My prayers with Rob and his family, such sad news. Good gesture from the lads."
