Former England midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes that Rodrigo's goal in Leeds United's 2-1 defeat against Manchester City could be pivotal for the Whites' survival prospects under veteran boss Sam Allardyce.
Ilkay Gundogan's impressive first-half brace was enough to see off Allardyce's men on his United managerial debut, despite Leeds pulling one back five minutes from time courtesy of a sharp finish from Rodrigo.
Encouragingly, though, there was a distinct essence of resilience and organisation on show at the Etihad Stadium, elements of performance that had plagued 'Big Sam's' predecessors, Marcelo Bielsa, Jesse Marsch and Javi Gracia.
