Archie Gray picked up his fourth Player of the Match award this season, after putting in another impressive display against Norwich City.

In what has been a breakthrough season for the 17 year old, Gray made his 30th appearance for the Whites on Wednesday night, putting in some crucial tackles across the 89 minutes he was on the pitch.

In a mature and professional performance at Elland Road, Leeds secured a 1-0 win over the Canaries, extending their unbeaten home run to sixteen games.

The game's deciding factor came in the 16th minute, when Patrick Bamford headed home, a beautiful cross from Dan James.

As the game wore on, play opened up, with Gray being called upon a number of times to step in and defend the lead from right-back.

One such occasion arrived in the 82nd minute, when Onel Hernandez broke forward, played it out to Adam Idah, who was all set to get a shot at goal, only for Gray to put in a great last-ditch tackle.

Gray wasn't the only player to impress during the 1-0 win. The young star picked up 29% of the vote, followed by Joe Rodon on 19% and Junior Firpo on 14%.
