Leeds United talent Mateo Joseph stole the headlines on Friday evening, as the Whites’ U21 outfit got the better of Stoke City.
The latest crop of up-and-coming talent in west Yorkshire marked their return to action a short time ago.
Fresh off a fine opening to the Premier League 2 campaign, Michael Skubala’s troops welcomed the aforementioned Stoke to the LNER Community Stadium, hopeful of climbing back to the top of the table.
And, when all was said and done, leapfrog Middlesbrough courtesy of a fifth win in six is precisely what Leeds went on to do.
A 4-0 rout was kicked into gear inside the opening quarter of an hour, upon Man of the Match Mateo Joseph slotting home from close range:

And hitman Joseph was back at it again five minutes later, on this occasion rifling a fine half-volleyed finish into the far top corner:
