Sonny Perkins impact hailed by Leeds United coach as Whites' U21s reclaim driving seat

Leeds United U21s moved three points clear at the top of the table on Monday night, but Michal Pujdak insists they won’t be getting ahead of themselves. The Whites were comfortable victors against Derby County, seeing off the bottom of the table outfit 3-0 at the LNER Community Stadium and that was enough to put them firmly in the driving Premier League 2 Division 2 driving seat.

Sam Greenwood scored Leeds’ first of the night, with Javi Gracia watching from the stands, tapping the ball in at the back post following some fine work from Sonny Perkins. Perkins was the provider for the second goal, too, pulling the ball back to the edge of the area for Joe Snowdon to drill home in emphatic fashion.

The striker eventually got himself on the scoresheet in the final few minutes of the game, rounding the keeper to prod the ball into an empty night and stretch the club’s winning streak to three games.
