Winger scores second goal in FA Cup Fourth Round tie

Jaidon Anthony is the latest player to have picked up the Boost Player of the Match award, after 79% of fans voted him for his role in our 1-1 draw with Plymouth.

The winger paid tribute to his mum, who sadly passed away recently, scoring a stunning goal before removing his shirt to reveal a t-shirt which read "Rest in perfect peace, mum"

Leeds United dominated the first half of the FA Cup clash, as they forced Plymouth's Conor Hazard into a number of saves.

The deadlock was broken in the 31st minute when Anthony picked up the ball on the touchline, weaved his way past a few Plymouth defenders, before unleashing a brilliant strike from outside the box, straight into the top right corner of the net.

A game of two halves, Plymouth came out of the break with a renewed determination, piling on the pressure.

Plymouth eventually got their equaliser in the 73rd minute, Adam Randell taking the Fourth Round tie into a replay.

With 79% of the vote, Jaidon was the clear winner of the Player of the Match award. He was followed by Georginio with 6% and Ilia Gruev with 4%.
