Tanaka's Impactful Debut
Leeds United's January signing, Yuki Tanaka, made an immediate impact in his debut against Plymouth Argyle. The Japanese midfielder showcased his exceptional passing range and vision, creating several scoring opportunities for his teammates.
Rothwell's Resurgence

Piroe's Clinical Finishing

- Crysencio Summerville: The youngster made a lively cameo, providing a spark to Leeds' attack.
