'Would like' - Leeds United star outlines fresh set piece hope with big Championship rival warning
A Leeds United star has outlined his set pieces hope with a big Championship rival warning.
Whites captain Ethan Ampadu has outlined his Leeds United set pieces hope but with a big warning about this evening’s visitors Watford.
Writing in his captain’s column of the match night programme, injured skipper Ampadu reflected on Friday night’s 2-0 win at home to Sheffield United in which Pascal Struijk ended United’s long run without a goal from a corner.
Ampadu now hopes many more will follow - but signalled a warning about what to expect from Watford fresh from last season’s draw at Vicarage Road.
“We want to keep our momentum from what was a really important win. I felt that the performance against Sheffield United was excellent, on and off the pitch.
"I was delighted for Pascal to score from Joe's corner. We want to get goals from all areas so it was good to get one from a set piece, something we would like to do more often. Mateo came off the bench and showed his quality in front of goal, finishing off a great pass from Joel to round off an excellent team move.
"Tonight we face a tough Watford side who'll be coming here looking to make it difficult, like they did for us at Vicarage Road last season. We got a last-minute equaliser that day and the boys are aware of the threats they'll face."
