Rasmus Kristensen got his just deserts on Saturday afternoon, according to Javi Gracia, after bagging his first goal for Leeds United in the Whites’ 4-2 win over Wolves. The Denmark international hasn’t always found life easy in the Premier League following his summer move to West Yorkshire from Red Bull Salzburg.
Form and consistency have been difficult to come by and he has made just two league appearances since the turn of the year after becoming rooted behind Luke Ayling in the pecking order at Elland Road. He did feature under Gracia in the FA Cup defeat to Fulham last month, but Saturday’s outing was his first in the top flight for the Spaniard.
However, it didn’t take him long to mark it in the best way possible, arriving at the back post to drill home Leeds’ third just a few seconds after replacing Wilfried Gnonto in the 61st minute at Molineux. He had to show tenacity and determination to outmuscle Jonny and engineer the space to shoot, but he took the goal with the confidence of a striker.
