There aren’t many players in the Leeds United squad who could match the composure Raphinha showed in the fourth minute of stoppage time to lay it on a plate for Joe Gelhardt against Norwich City. It would have been very easy for the Brazilian to panic and try score from the narrow angle after rounding Tim Krul.
Thankfully for Leeds, though, it was the right man in the right place as the Whites ended a run of six consecutive defeats with that dramatic late win over Norwich. Raphinha ’s major contribution came at arguably the best possible time for him, with his recent below-par performances causing some fans to question his commitment to the club with links to the likes of Barcelona and Liverpool continuing to surface.
However, at the weekend, not only will his excellent display have put to bed those murmurs of discontent, but also an unseen gesture he did in the tunnel prior to kick off that has recently surfaced on social media. .As both sides began to walk out on the pitch, Raphinha was seen tapping the Leeds badge that was next to him on the wall.
