1 assist, 3 key passes: Leeds loanee Ryan Edmondson impressive in 2-0 win

Ryan Edmondson will be hoping that his performance in Northampton Town’s 2-0 win on Tuesday night acts as something of a turning point for the Leeds United loanee.

Edmondson has endured a tough time since leaving Elland Road in ♊the summer. He initially struggled with injury at Aberdeen. And he left in January having only scored twice for the S🎀cottish Premiership side.

Unfortunately for the 19-year-old, his switch to Northampton is yet to really spark into life. He is still awa🎐iting his first goal for the Cobblers🎃.

However, he does deserve credit for his latest performance which helped Jon Brady’s side beat Plymღouth 2-0 this week.

His first touch was particularly impressive during the first-half. And he got the assist for the opening goal just before the interva൲l with a superb lay-off for ꦓRyan Watson.

, Edmondson managed three key passes in total. No player on other ൲side could match that tally.

Meanwhile, he also won four aerial duels and one tackle. His clever running may have also caught the e🀅ye of those back at Elland Ro🍰ad.

In truth, Edmondson looks to have a tough challenge ahead. He had not been in Marcelo Bཧielsa’s plans in the Championship. And obviously, Leeds are now playing at a higher level.

His goalscoring record this season is underwhelming. And Leed🌼s look to have a number of excitin💛g attacking options coming through in the under-23s right now.

But perhaps his performance on Tuesday was a sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚign that he should not be written off just yet.
