Leeds United signed Lewis Bate for £1.5 million in the summer, as the teenager left Chelsea seeking first-team football.
The midfielder has has to bide his time but in the last two weeks he had his big opportunity. First, he started in the FA Cup, then on Sunday he came on for the injured Adam Forshaw after 22 minutes to make his Premier League debut.
The game was played at a significantly higher tempo than the FA Cup tie, where he had impressed in possession but many felt that the teenager gave a good account of himself in Leeds' 3-2 victory.
