TYLER ROBERTS: IT HAS GIVEN ME A MASSIVE CONFIDENCE BOOST

Forward on Preston North End win.

Leeds United forward Tyler Roberts spoke to LUTV following Tuesday’s victory over Preston North End.

Roberts, who has been given his chance in the centre forward role, bagged two goals on his first league start at Elland Road, to help Leeds defeat Preston North End 3-0.

The Whites maintained their position at the top of the league and Roberts was delighted to get off the mark in the victory.

“Scoring my first two goals, getting the starts and hearing the noise is hard to describe,” said Roberts.

“The first one happened so quick, I made a movement and Kalvin Phillips saw it and before I knew it I was one-on-one with the goalkeeper and then I tried to chip him and it came off which was great.

“The second goal was a great team move, when you have players like Mateusz Klich in the team, you know that you can get the ball anywhere, it was a great find and made things easy for me.

“Running over to the fans, seeing the excitement and buzz was amazing.

“It has given me a massive confidence boost, it was a hard start to my Leeds United career, but getting those goals has proved to me that the hard work has paid off and to keep believing and be strong minded.

“Hopefully I can get another start on Saturday in front of the home fans as well, we are so focused on the next game and that is the only thing on our mind now.”
