Junior Firpo and Joel Piroe react to Jayden Bogle post after Leeds stun Sunderland
Jayden Bogle directed a message to Leeds United fans after their dramatic stoppage-time victory over Sunderland at Elland Road.
Leeds fought back from a goal down to secure a 2-1 win against Sunderland, with Pascal Struijk coming off the bench to score a last-gasp winner. Bogle had struggled for Leeds on the night, possibly due to an yellow card that limited his usual attacking influence.
Despite that, Daniel Farke’s decision to introduce Struijk and Joe Rothwell in the final 20 minutes proved decisive, with both players making an impact in the comeback.
Leeds supporters are now calling for the club to sign Joe Rothwell on a permanent deal, following his two crucial assists.
While Bogle may not have stolen the headlines, he still recognised the significance of the win, celebrating the team and the fans after the final whistle.

Bogle shared a message on Instagram featuring pictures of himself, the team in a huddle, and the fans in the stadium, captioning it: “Special team. Special atmosphere.”
Teammate Joel Piroe echoed the sentiment, commenting “Special” while Junior Firpo added, “Special player.”
Bogle had a slow start to life at Leeds after his summer move from Sheffield United but has since become a crucial player under Farke.
He has made 32 appearances this season, scoring four goals and providing two assists. Impressively, he has started all 31 Championship matches he has featured in, proving his reliability and importance to the squad.

Daniel Farke pushing for Premier League return
Farke has faced pressure from Leeds fans this season, with speculation over his future if the club fails to secure promotion. However, the victory over Sunderland was a significant boost, moving the side two points clear of Sheffield Wednesday in second place.
Bogle’s strong performances have been key to Leeds’ push for automatic promotion, and with momentum on their side, they will be eager to avoid the heartbreak of last season.
After narrowly missing out on promotion with a play-off final defeat to Southampton, the club are now seven points clear of the play-off places, strengthening hopes of a top-two finish.
