'He did the same in training yesterday' Stuart Dallas on Luke Ayling's Huddersfield Town wonder goal

Luke Ayling's stunning strike against Huddersfield Town came as no surprise to Stuart Dallas - because he watched his teammate do exactly the same in training the day before.

Marcelo Bielsa's side earned the derby day spoils with a 2-0 win over Huddersfield at Elland Road on Saturday, as they moved back to the top of the Championship.

For the second week in a row Ayling opened the scoring in the first five minutes, as he netted his third goal in his last five games when he leapt in the air to smash home a superb volley which went in off the crossbar.

Patrick Bamford added the second after the break to ensure a happy day at the office for the Whites .

Speaking directly after the Elland Road win, Dallas says the opening strike from Ayling came hot on the heels of a similar effort yesterday at the Thorp Arch training pitches.

"He doesn't normally strike them like that but I've got to give it to him," said the Northern Irishman.

"He scored one exactly the same in training yesterday.

"I'm sure you'll see it on his Instagram at some stage!

"But it was a great goal. It was a great ball in by Jack (Harrison) and that made it a great start for us."
