Rodrigo Moreno produced one of his best performances in a Leeds United shirt against Norwich City on Sunday. The Spaniard’s display was night and day from the one he produced against Aston Villa just three days earlier, where his frequent concession of possession saw him hooked at half time.
Against Norwich, though, Rodrigo looked like a player looking to prove a point. He remains the club’s record signing at £27 million and question marks over whether he has justified that price tag intensified in the wake of the Villa defeat, which appeared to light a fire in his belly against the Canaries.
Rodrigo set the tempo for a fast start early on with some intricate one touch passes in midfield; he particularly seemed to benefit from the return of Patrick Bamford as his hold up play allowed the 31-year-old to pick the ball up in more dangerous areas of the field. Perhaps one of his biggest plus points of the afternoon, though, was the work he did out of possession.
