Leeds United supporters have their say after 'amazing' Real Sociedad friendly win

Leeds United supporters hailed the team's performance against after goals from Pascal Struijk and Rodrigo gave the Whites their second 2-1 win over a La Liga opponent in the space of a week.

The visitors made a quick start as Sociedad defender Martin Zubimendi nodded home Brais Mendez free kick after getting in between Luke Ayling and Struijk to give them the lead.

However, their lead would only last six minutes after the ball fell to Struijk 20 yards out and he rifled a thunderbolt across the box, past Sociedad's goalkeeper and levelled up the score for Leeds.

Chances for both teams before half-time came and went, with manager Jesse Marsch making five changes by bringing off Rasmus Kristensen, Liam Cooper, Adam Forshaw, Joel Robles and Brenden Aaronson, with Cody Drameh, Leo Hjelde, Sam Greenwood, Kristoffer Klaesson and Joe Gelhardt coming on.

The winter break hasn't seemed to slow down Rodrigo as he continued his white-hot form with a lovely finish after a fantastic pass from Gelhardt through two Sociedad defenders.

Many took to social media after the match to discuss the result and here's what they had to say...
