Crysencio Summerville may have only had a small amount of time on the field last time out at Wolverhampton Wanderers, but he still managed to make a big contribution. The winger entered the fray in the 81st minute at Molineux when Javi Gracia’s Leeds United were under the pump and struggling to hold onto the convincing lead they had built up.
It would have been a tough game for any player to step into, but the 21-year-old held his own and managed to carve out the moment that saw Leeds home and dry in the West Midlands. Winning the ball off Adama Traore on the left flank, Summerville followed a quick turn with an inch perfect pass through to the onrushing Rodrigo, who kept his cool to dink home Leeds’ fourth.
That moment helped to give Javi Gracia his second win at the United helm, but it also served to underline the head coach’s belief that Summerville, who spent time with the Netherlands Under-21 squad earlier this month, will be a key player for the Whites in the run-in. The Dutchman’s performances are all the more important now, too, following the news that Wilfried Gnonto sustained an injury on international duty that will rule him out of Saturday’s game at the very least.
