Leeds United supporters were in awe of wonderkid Mateo Joseph after he bagged four goals against Derby County U21s. An emphatic 5-2 victory against the Rams got Michael Skubala’s youngsters’ Premier League 2 campaign off to a flyer.
The hero was 18-year-old Joseph - signed from Espanyol in January - who bagged a first-half hat-trick before adding a fourth in the second half. Sonny Perkins completed the rout in front of an 831-strong crowd at Pride Park.
Whites fans were quick to react on social media following Joseph’s showing. Some sarcastically suggested Leeds no longer need to sign a striker to shadow Patrick Bamford.
