Jack Harrison was 'star of the show' as Leeds United made Chelsea look like a 'mid-table' team

Jack Harrison was the 'star of the show' for Leeds United in their 3-0 win over Chelsea on Sunday, according to Garth Crooks.

The former Tottenham Hotspur forward was impressed by the winger, who scored his first goal of the season and claimed an assist for the third game in a row. Harrison rounded-off the scoring after Brenden Aaronson put Leeds ahead, before Rodrigo nodded in his fourth goal of the season to make it 2-0.

The 25-year-old - who has been linked with a move to Newcastle United this summer - was named in Crooks' BBC Premier League Team of the Week for his display. Crooks says Harrison was the star performer in a side who are starting to look like a 'proper Premier League team'.

He said: "What happened to the Chelsea that played Spurs off the park at Stamford Bridge but a week later looked like a comedy of errors against Leeds at Elland Road? I saw a Champions League team made to look like a mid-table Premier League side, which is where they currently sit.

"Thomas Tuchel would do well to start directing some of his anger towards his players and not the games officials. Leeds, meanwhile, suddenly look like a proper Premier League team and Elland Road returning to the days when every team going there hated it.

"Harrison was the star of the show and has never looked back since he left Manchester City."
