Jesse Marsch has praised the confidence Mateo Joseph, Sonny Perkins and Darko Gyabi played with on their Leeds United debuts at Wolves on Wednesday. The teenaged trio were all handed their first senior appearances for the Whites and did by no means look out of place against a Wolves side that included the likes of Max Kilman, Ruben Neves and Adama Traore.
Joseph has scored 12 goals in 11 appearances for the U21s this season, while Perkins has also been prolific in front of goal since his move from West Ham, scoring in 10 matches in a row for both club and country earlier in the campaign. Gyabi has also looked a class above in Premier League 2 following his summer switch from Manchester City.
Leeds were defeated 1-0 by Wolves in the Carabao Cup earlier this week and while Marsch was disappointed with the result, he believes 'the future is bright' based on the performances of the three of them.
