Jesse Marsch saw his side fight back from 1-3 down to win at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, with Crysencio Summerville scoring a late winner for the second week running.

The Whites took an early lead in the match after Rodrigo’s penalty, but found themselves 3-1 behind with just 30 minutes left to play.

The substitutes made huge impacts from the bench, meaning the Whites were able to turn the game around and secure a memorable victory along with an important three points.

Speaking after the match, Marsch gave his thoughts to the media.

He said: “It’s hard to put into words and to describe what happened.

“At half-time, we tried to instil belief in the team, that we could still manage to find the result.

“I told them after the match that the best part was that I could tell by the looks on their faces, that I didn’t have to convince them that they believed it.

“I think the second half performance exemplified that.

“I think the guys who came on played really well. Sam [Greenwood] got a really good goal and I thought he was fantastic in the match.

“Then Willy [Gnonto] continues to grow within our group. People see that he has talent and quality, but also real intelligence on the pitch. He helped the game as well - and I thought Joffy [Joe Gelhardt] came on and did really well as well.

“We have a big cup match coming up midweek, then we go to Tottenham and we want to go after that game, too.

“We’re not thinking we are done - it’s two big results [AFC Bournemouth & Liverpool], the six points helps us a lot, but we have got to keep pushing.”
