Loan starlet Eddie Nketiah scores the winner for Leeds

Eddie Nketiah made an immediate impact on the Championship, scoring on his league debut for Leeds to secure victory against Brentford on Wednesday night.

The England U21 international, on loan from Arsenal, replaced Pablo Hernndez with little more than 10 minutes to go, but it was enough time for him to break the deadlock in a game which saw few chances.

Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa said he would be tempted to play Nketiah up front alongside more established striker Patrick Bamford in the future, depending on the opponent.
