There are celebrations and there are celebrations. Match-winners often take the acclaim of their team-mates, but the length and quantity of the embraces Mateusz Klich was fielding last night had extra meaning.
Leeds United were well below par, but came away with the Festa d'Elx Trophy in Elche last night after a moment of brilliance from the Polish midfielder. In a match riddled with mistakes, sluggishness and blunted attacks, the second-half substitute lit the evening up with its pièce de résistance.
It was a throwback to the type of goal Klich was scoring once or twice a month under Marcelo Bielsa through 2018/19. He took a touch out from his feet, picked his spot and caressed the ball home from 20 yards out.
