Gary Lineker on Joe Gelhardt's 'huge' Leeds United winner and what it means for relegation fight

Match of the Day host Gary Lineker says Joe Gelhardt's stoppage-time winner against Norwich City was 'huge' for the club as he reflected on a dramatic day in the Premier League relegation battle.

The Whites handed head coach Jesse Marsch his first win since he replaced Marcelo Bielsa earlier this month, but needed substitute Gelhardt to net a 94th-minute winner after the Canaries had equalised three minutes earlier through Kenny McLean.

Leeds took the initiative early, with Rodrigo netting the first goal of the Marsch era after 14 minutes, but were then guilty of spurning a series of chances, with Raphinha hitting the woodwork twice, Pascal Struijk missing from close range and Patrick Bamford, who returned to the starting XI, putting a shot wide just before the break.
