Harry Redknapp has heaped praise on Leeds United youngster Crysencio Summerville after scoring a late winner at Anfield. The Whites' youngster played 90 minutes against Liverpool before being taken off in injury time after giving Jesse Marsch's side the lead.
Summerville was given the number ten shirt this season following Raphinha's departure for Barcelona and channelled the Brazilian's match winning talent, with a winner of his own. The 21-year-old scored on the eve of his birthday in a special moment for both him and his family.
He's been made to bide his time and force his way into Marsch's plans following the summer arrival of Luis Sinisterra. Former Spurs boss Redknapp was that impressed, he put the Leeds match winner in his team of Team of the Week, with BetVictor.

“What a moment for him!” Redknapp told BetVictor. “Grabbing the winner at Anfield in the dying embers of the game. That doesn’t happen too often.
“I thought Leeds were great, they worked ever so hard. A fantastic result.”
