Eddie Nketiah’s second half strike against Preston earns crucial point for Leeds United

Published on: 23 October 2019

English-born Ghanaian forward, Eddie Nketiah scored for Leeds United on Tuesday night when they drew 1-1 at the Deepdale stadium in the English Championship.

The on-loan Arsenal youngster was once again left on the bench in favour of Patrick Bamford who equally leads the lines very well when called upon.

Following a goalless draw game at the end of the first half, Tom Barkhuizen finally broke the deadlock on the 74th minute to hand Preston North End the lead.

Now in need of a revival to ensure his side gets back into the game, Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa resorted to his substitute bench and brought on Eddie Nketiah to replace Patrick Bamford.

The striker quickly made an impact and found the back of the net on the 77th minute. That strike earned a crucial point for the team that is seeking for promotion to the English Premier League at the end of the season.
