A number of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Cody Drameh after the right-back produced an outstanding performance as the under-23s kicked off the new campaign with a win at Crystal Palace.

Crysencio Summerville bagged the opening goal before Palace equalised. But Liam McCarron put Leeds back in front before Sean McGurk made the game safe.

McCarron’s goal would certainly not have looked out of place in Marcelo Bielsa’s first-team.

It saw left-back set up by right-back with Drameh’s cross across the six-yard box. And it was the least he deserved after a superb performance.

The teenager was brilliant during his first year at Elland Road. And he looks to have picked up exactly where he left off at the start of the new season.

He made several bursts into the box. Obviously, he provided the assist, and had a key hand in the third goal. But he also played a prominent role in the penalty Leeds received in the first-half as he danced past several Palace defenders.

He was rarely beaten defensively. And when he was, and ended up giving away a penalty, Kristoffer Klaesson stepped up to make the save.
