Tyler Adams has praised Leeds United supporters after the disappointing 2-2 draw against Southampton. The American experienced his first taste of the Whites’ famous away following since arriving from RB Leipzig.

However, disaster struck in the final 20 minutes as goals from Joe Aribo and Kyle Walker-Peters pegged the Saints back. Adams admitted Leeds did enough to win the game while hailing the travelling contingent for their support.
