Firpo pandemonium
Much like Pablo Hernandez’s winner at Swansea City or Joe Gelhardt’s killer at home to Norwich City last season, you can always measure the magnitude of a Leeds United goal by the number of people deserting the bench. Gaetano Berardi looked like he was hunting for prey as he skipped the Liberty Stadium hoardings in search of Pablo, Stuart Dallas was sending word to Cookstown with the speed and ferocity of punches to the turf when Gelhardt wheeled away.
Junior Firpo’s goal was monumental for the whole of the club, not just him, a left-back who has had a tough time of it since arriving from Barcelona. Marc Roca flooded onto the field to directly catch his compatriot.
