Leeds United fans praise 'battling' performance as Whites return to winning ways at Newcastle

Leeds United fans have been reacting to their side’s 2-1 win over Newcastle United.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side went to St James’ Park without a win in their last two Premier League matches, and three in all competitions.

The visitors took the lead early on in the first half thanks to a wonderful strike from outside the box from Raphinha.

Newcastle responded after the half time interval with a goal from Miguel Almiron, but Leeds soon retook the lead thanks to a cool finish from Jack Harrison.

After the final whistle, Leeds fans took to social media to express their thoughts and emotions on the result and the performance.

Here is a selection of what they had to say.

John: “And breathe... not a great performance but a win’s a win. 26 points after 19 games I’d have given anything to be offered that at the start of this season. MOT.”

George: “What a win, didn’t deserve anything but we battled. Meeded a lucky win like that for confidence.”

Nathaniellight7: “Doesn’t matter how they come, a win is a win.”

Edward Fox: “Big 3 points, hard fought well won, great platform to build upon.”

Danny: “Never in doubt lads.”

Lewis Slant: “Massive win lads.”

Jack: “Wow that was lucky, but we’ll take it.”

Nevillebartos12: “We're winning the games we need to. Yes just over half the season gone, but I'm one satisfied fan.”
