Leeds United's senior faces hailed as U21s boss Michael Skubala highlights progress

Michael Skubala saw plenty of progress from Leeds United U21s on Monday afternoon, despite seeing his side held to a 2-2 draw by Norwich City at Thorp Arch. The Whites were aiming to build on their opening day 5-2 win over Derby County and they took the lead early in the contest as Mateo Joseph fired home from close range.

It was the lead United deserved after a positive start, but they were powerless to prevent Abu Kamara from levelling the scores a minute or two later in front of a small crowd at the club’s training ground. Sonny Perkins fired Leeds ahead once more at the start of the second half, latching on to a through ball from Crysencio Summerville and prodding the ball beyond David Azaiya in the Canaries net.

Kamara pulled Norwich level once more, though, and Leeds were unable to find a third. Summerville hit the post with a header, while Darko Gyabi worked the keeper with an effort from range, but the Whites were held to a Premier League 2 Division 2 point.
