'He's a leader' - Leeds United's Liam Cooper hailed for his role in Scotland comeback win

Leeds United skipper Liam Cooper's leadership skills have been hailed after he helped to inspire Scotland to a memorable UEFA 2024 qualifying campaign comeback win against Norway in Oslo.

The Scots found themselves 1-0 down to an Erling Haaland penalty with just three minutes left on the clock after a gruelling match where temperatures were around 30 degrees at kick-off. But an 87th-minute strike from Lyndon Dykes and an 89th-minute goal from Kenny McLean sealed a remarkable turnaround to maintain Scotland's perfect record in their qualification campaign.

Cooper came off the bench with 25 minutes to go, shortly after the Scots had fallen behind and his role was praised by Scotland skipper John McGinn.
