Manor Solomon sends message to Leeds fans after ‘permanent Spurs transfer’ plea
Leeds winger Manor Solomon took to social media to send a defiant message to the fans after their dramatic 2-1 Championship win over Sunderland on Monday (February 17).
The 25-year-old was replaced by fellow winger Largie Ramazini directly after Pascal Struijk’s 78th-minute equaliser at Elland Road.
Wilson Isidor opened the scoring for Sunderland in the 32nd minute after turning Ethan Ampadu and scoring past Illan Meslier from a tight angle.
Struijk then got his first of two goals with a header from Joe Rothwell’s freekick before securing all three points in added time with another header.
Leeds‘ win over Sunderland saw them return to the top of the Championship table, two points above second-placed Sheffield United with 72 points from their 33 games.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former PGMOL chief and ex-FIFA Keith Hackett admitted it was a “pity” the fourth official called referee Stuart Attwell into the technical area to book Daniel Farke after a last-gasp winner for Leeds.
Manor Solomon making an impression as Leeds march towards promotion
Solomon has been key for Farke so far this season, starting 18 of his 28 games across all competitions, scoring seven goals, and providing eight assists in his 1630 minutes of action.
The Elland Road faithful have certainly taken to Solomon, urging Leeds to sign him permanently from Tottenham at the end of the season.
Solomon took to Instagram after the dramatic late win over Sunderland to celebrate, saying: “They won’t break us… We keep pushing together.”
Leeds will travel to their nearest competitor Sheffield United for their next Championship game on Monday (February 24).
Farke’s side have just 13 league games remaining as they seek to earn promotion back to the Premier League having gone through play-off heartbreak last season.
