'Best skill you'll see all year' - Pundit purrs over Joe Gelhardt's moment of Leeds United magic

Former England international Jermaine Jenas believes there was night and day between Leeds United's first and second half performances as the Whites came from behind to snatch a dramatic late equaliser against Brighton & Hove Albion. Danny Welbeck's first half strike saw the visitors take the lead on 21 minutes in a game Leeds absolutely had to get a result in.

Chances came but Leeds looked lacking in confidence in the first half, with things needing to change after the break. The second half saw Jesse Marsch's side take the game to a Brighton side who were in good form heading into the contest, with the hosts continuing to probe for an equaliser to get them back into the match.

In the 92nd minute, a moment of brilliance from 20-year-old forward Joe Gelhardt saw the Leeds youngster dummy defender Lewis Dunk, before chipping the ball over his trailing leg to loft a cross into the path of centre back Pascal Strujik who headed home from close range to secure the Whites a point.
