Crysencio Summerville has come of age at Leeds United as Jesse Marsch delivers new challenge

Crysencio Summerville has cut a frustrated figure at times. The Dutchman made statement of intent by taking the number 10 shirt at the start of the campaign, but he has had to settle for a series of short stints here and there off the Leeds United bench this season.

As a result he has struggled to make the desired impact under Jesse Marsch, struggling to show his best and make the full-time step up from the Under-21s squad and into the first-team picture. However, on Saturday night in Merseyside, Summerville, on the eve of his 21st birthday, well and truly announced himself to the Leeds United fanbase by producing a moment they will likely never forget.

The game at Anfield looked to be heading for a stalemate as the minutes ticked down. Liverpool were peppering Illan Meslier but the Frenchman was standing firm and Leeds looked more than capable of holding out for a much-needed point.
