Leif Davis: Leeds United supporters feel very, very sorry for teenage full-back who had to make debut vs Aston Villa
Leif Davis made his professional football debut on Sunday afternoon as Leeds visited Aston Villa.Davis, the teenage full-back, was named on the bench for the clash at Villa Park, but was drafted into the starting line-up just before kick-off as Barry Douglas was struck by illness in the warm-up.Davis found life hard against Jonathan Kodjia and Yannick Bolasie2

It was surely a big moment for the 18-year-old, who had never before made a professional football appearance, either for Leeds, or for Morecambe – the club from which he was signed earlier this year.Davis would have hoped his debut went better, however.Leeds were 2-0 down inside the first 20 minutes, and Davis showed he was clearly not ready for this level of football. While he looked okay moving forward with the ball as Leeds were on the attack, Davis was given the run around by Aston Villa’s forwards – especially Yannick Bolasie and Jonathan Kodjia.Though there were calls for Davis to be withdrawn at half-time, he was eventually substituted with about a quarter-of-an-hour remaining.And Leeds completed their comeback with Davis off the pitch, as Kemar Roofe scored in the fifth minute of injury time to secure the Whites a 3-2 defeat of their opponents that guarantees they will top the Championship table on Christmas Day.Roofe struck at the death to claim all three points for Leeds2

Davis must be annoyed he wasn’t on the pitch to celebrate the amazing winning goal, and he will certainly be grateful his blushes were spared after his shaky showing.The youngster’s performance was rightfully criticised on social media, but the majority of supporters were understanding of his struggles given Davis was making his debut against one of the best teams in the Championship.You can see some of the best reaction to Davis’ performance below…
