The Whites responded almost immediately with Struijk's thunderous effort from outside the box exploding into the top corner.
Rodrigo came up with the winner in the 58th minute, but Struijk claims that his latest goal proves to his teammates that he can convert goal scoring chances.
"Yes, of course [I am proud of that strike]. I mean get in those positions quite a lot but then they don’t always pass the ball. So, I hope to prove to my team-mates that I can do something with it," Struijk told LUTV.
Leeds United linked with January transfer switch for Manchester United outcast
Leeds United are among a number of clubs interested in 'out-of-favour' Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka as the January transfer window looms ever closer.
Although Wan-Bissaka has fallen down in the pecking order at Old Trafford, interest in the 25-year-old has seemingly picked up out of nowhere. Several clubs, including the Whites, are believed to be keen on signing him next month.
According to outlet 90Min, United have made it clear to Wan-Bissaka that he can pursue other options both in England and abroad, having made just a single substitute appearance under new boss Erik ten Hag this season.
Crysencio Summerville lifts lid on Jesse Marsch team meetings amid Leeds United development plan
In what has been a season of ups-and-downs for Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch, one of his brightest stars that he has been able to count on time and time again in recent weeks has been Crysencio Summerville.
The 21-year-old has established himself at first team level and was the hero as the Whites claimed their first win at Liverpool in 21 years at the end of October. Marsch has tried to keep his youngsters level-headed, grounded and ready for anything while getting them the vital minutes at what is a key point in their development as players.
And Summerville is no exception. "He wants to keep me sharp, to keep going," Summerville admitted in an interview with Sportsmail. "I am young and still learning, but I have to keep in check with the older players. He is watching me."
