Greenwoodꦺ posted on after his side recorded a 3-1 win over Accrington Stanley in yesterday’s𝓡 early kick-off.

Leeds were the better side throughout, and their fans got to see a first glimpse of record signing Georginio Rutter.

Although Rutter wasn🌃’t on the score sheet, he looked tidy as he started his Leeds care🍸er with a much-needed win.

Jack Harrison open💛ed the scoring w🉐ith a fantastic first-half effort.

Harrison has been linked with a move away from💦 Leeds this month, with Aston Villa reportedly⛄ keen.

Second-half goals from ꦉFirpo and Luis S♚inisterra secured Jesse Marsch’s side a win before Accrington scored a late consolation goal.

It was Firpo’s first ever gꦺoal for Leeds, and after a difficult season with injuries, he’ll be glad to be b✱ack in action.

He’s got plenty of time ahead of him to cemꦍent his place in the Leeds squad.
