Leeds United supporters have hailed Brenden Aaronson's involvement in Leeds Under-21's match against Aston Villa Under-21s after the 22-year-old sent the Whites 1-0 up.
Aaronson has struggled for consistent minutes in recent weeks, having started just once in Leeds ' last five Premier League matches, and has only played 73 minutes over his last three appearances.
Despite a strong start to the season, where he found a goal and an assist within his first five games for the club, the American has since found just one assist in his last 20 matches.

@AidanLUFC09: "Hopefully that’ll help his confidence."
