Crysencio Summerville has become the youngest Leeds United player to score in four consecutive Premier League games following his goal at Tottenham. Summerville scored the opener at Spurs as he latched onto a Brenden Aaronson through ball before firing in at Hugo Lloris' near post with his weaker left foot.
His goal was not enough for Leeds to come away with something from the capital, though, as they thrice surrendered a lead before losing out late on through Rodrigo Bentancur's goal. That said, at 21 years and 13 days, Summerville has now scored in matches against Fulham, Liverpool, Bournemouth and Tottenham, an achievement that Rodrigo Moreno has also managed after his brace today.
The Dutchman was only handed his first Premier League start last month against Leicester City but has not looked back since as he repays the faith Jesse Marsch has shown in him. Summerville has always been a prolific goal scorer in the U23s since his move from Feyenoord and Leeds' philosophy of investing in young players is now paying off.

He is also the first Leeds player to score in four successive Premier League matches since Mark Viduka in 2004. In the season Leeds were relegated from the top-flight, Viduka scored in consecutive games against Manchester City, Birmingham City, Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers.
If Summerville can replicate even half of the success Viduka enjoyed during his time at Elland Road, then he will certainly become a fan favourite in West Yorkshire.
