Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch has revealed that he asked Joe Gelhardt to be 'aggressive' after he scored the winner in the dramatic 2-1 victory over Norwich City on Sunday. The 19-year-old came on as a late substitute and witnessed his side concede an injury-time leveller as Kenny McLean slotted home from close-range.
However, Leeds kept pushing and snatched all three points as Raphinha rounded the goalkeeper and his cross was bunded home by Gelhardt to spark delirium at Elland Road. The result sealed the Whites' first win since January and a vital success in their pursuit of staying in the Premier League. They currently sit in 16th and are now four points ahead of the bottom three.
When asked about what that moment will do for Gelhardt, he said: "I mean, I don't think Joffy will ever forget that moment, either. He's a brave young man. He's got quality. And so I'm going to invest in all these young men and try to help them understand within the framework of the system that we're creating here.
