'A right player' - Leeds United fans react to Ian Poveda's latest outing in U23s draw at Barnsley

Ian Poveda was the name on the lips of all Leeds United fans after their under-23s' 1-1 draw with Barnsley.

Poveda was the architect for United's opener, with the 20-year-old starting the move inside his own half thanks to a superb piece of skill before finishing it off by teeing up Bobby Kamwa inside the box.

Unfortunately the Whites couldn't hold on, with Barnsley sealing a share of the spoils thanks to an Aiden Marsh penalty.

Poveda lasted 71 minutes and he certainly showed enough during that time to warrant some supporters calling for him to earn a call-up to Marcelo Bielsa's first team.

Poveda joined Leeds in January from Manchester City but has yet to play a senior game.

Poveda has made two appearances on the Leeds bench since his January switch.
