Leeds fans react to Liverpool loanee Ovie Ejaria’s display
A number of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to laud Liverpool loanee Ovie Ejaria after the midfielder got the better of Kalvin Phillips in the Whites’ 1-0 win over Reading on Tuesday night.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side have returned to the top of the Championship with a narrow win. It was a tough night for the promotion-chasers, and the Royals threatened to give them a scare. Kiko Casilla made a couple of smart saves, and Michael Morrison missed a fantastic chance in the second-half.
But Jack Harrison scored late on to secure the three points for the visitors. However, it appears that one Reading player, in particular, impressed the Leeds fans on social media.
Ejaria has been outstanding for Reading this season. And he has been in particularly good form since Mark Bowen took over as manager, with two assists and a goal in the four games leading up to Tuesday’s clash.
And it is fair to say that he was excellent against Phillips. The Leeds midfielder is undoubtedly one of the best players in the Championship. But he seemed to struggle to get the ball off Ejaria throughout the game.
There were some delightful touches and pieces of skill from the Reds loanee. And some Leeds fans have heaped praise on the youngster.
And it has been suggested by a couple of supporters that the Whites should make a move for the 22-year-old. It must be noted that Reading have the option to make Ejaria’s move permanent (), but some Whites fans clearly feel that the club should consider a last-ditch bid if it is possible.
Here is how some of the fans reacted to Ejaria’s display…
Might get slagged off for this but I don’t care, Phillips wasnt great tonight and their Midfielder, Ejaria, was superb and run him ragged!
Phillips MUST be taken off set pieces too, he hardly ever makes one count.
I adore Phillips so there’s no scapegoating here ?
