Leeds United captain Liam Cooper shares dressing room atmosphere after comeback win

Leeds United captain Liam Cooper has hailed Crysencio Summerville's late winner as 'unbelievable' after his side's comeback victory against Bournemouth at Elland Road last night. The 31-year-old scored the equaliser after 68 minutes following an incredible curling effort from Sam Greenwood before Summerville fired past Cherries goalkeeper Mark Travers to secure all three points for the Whites.

Speaking to LUTV after the game, Cooper gave his thoughts on the game as a whole and despite being disappointed at giving away the lead so early, the atmosphere in the dressing room was electric at full-time.

"Yeah, it was unbelievable," said Cooper. "Obviously in the ascendancy at the start buy we gave it away again and you feel the frustration around you in the ground. But as a group, we kept going and kept going, we pushed and we pushed and we scored a lot of good goals and the dressing room is buzzing, they're delighted with that.

"We just have to keep pushing, we know we have a long way to go and that'll be the message to the boys. Keep going, keep pushing but we'll enjoy this win with the fans, the dressing room and we'll go again."

Cooper then highlighted the young players in the squad, giving special mention to Summerville after his back-to-back late winners has meant back-to-back wins for the Whites.

He added: "Absolutely brilliant, all the boys off the bench came in, got stuck in and gave us a real driving force going forward. Willy, Sam, Joffy, all the boys that came off the bench were unbelievable. They can be proud of themselves today and it's a brilliant three points for us and yeah, we're buzzing.

"[Summerville] is a talent, we see it day in, day out. Jesse has just been waiting for the chance to put him in and yeah, he's been unbelievable. He's been given the chance, now he just needs to keep pushing, keep striving to be better, we'll look after him there in that sense but I think he'll go on to have an unbelievable career, we're delighted to have him."
