Leeds United fans in awe of 17-year-old goal machine after 19th strike of the season
Leeds United’s Under-23 team continued their fine season last night under the Elland Road floodlights. Carlos Corberan saw his youngsters defeat Coventry City 3-2 after extra-time to seal a place in the PDL-National Cup Final.
It wasn’t all plain sailing for the Whites who were pegged back by a dogged Sky Blues team. The gulf in quality showed ultimately though and Leeds now have a chance to claim a double for the campaign.
A surprise omission from the starting line-up was that of Ryan Edmondson. The 18-goal talisman was forced to settle for a place on the bench despite a magnificent goalscoring campaign.

He did get the chance to join the action in the second half and didn’t disappoint. He took his goal tally to 19 for the season with a well-taken effort to put Leeds 2-1 in front.
The target man has looked the part this season. He has been a regular for the Under-23s despite his tender age of just 17-years-old.
The youngster has featured twice off the bench for the Whites but is yet to receive a proper run out under Marcelo Bielsa.
Supporters are chomping at the bit to see the natural-born goalscorer earn a chance in the first-team and after another strike, they took to Twitter to rave about the teenager…
Ryan Edmondson is basically Chris Wood. Their styles are so similar. Always in the right place!

Ryan Edmondson not starting tonight is a strange one. Maybe he could be getting a run out at Ipswich on Sunday.

Ryan Edmondson is on the bench for the 23s… Potentially ahead of a call-up to the first team on Sunday?

If Roofe is out of tomorrow like to see Ryan Edmondson on bench and given some game time if nothing on it. He strikes me as a natural goal scorer and a big bustling centre forward who we have always had in successful teams e.g Jones. Jordan, Viduka, Chapman, Beckford
