Leeds United supporters heap praise on Charlie Cresswell after debut brace for Millwall

Some Leeds United supporters have questioned the decision to send Charlie Cresswell on loan to Millwall after the Whites loanee scored a brace on his professional debut for the club. The young defender opened the scoring after just 12 minutes, meeting George Honeyman's corner with a powerful header that flew past Joe Bursik.

The Whites loanee kept a clean sheet in the first-half with Millwall leading 1-0 at the break. He would add another to his tally just after the hour mark, slamming Scott Malone's corner into the back of the net.

Cresswell is set to spend the season on loan with the Championship club after departing Elland Road earlier this summer. He made five Premier League appearances for the Whites last season, but made the switch to the Den in order to get more game time.
