Solomon happy special goal 'finally came in'

Leeds United winger Manor Solomon says his spectacular goal during their 2-1 win against Preston North End at the weekend was particularly "special" after having struggled to execute a curling strike from 20 yards since a long-term injury with former club Tottenham Hotspur.

The 25-year-old suffered a meniscus injury to his right knee in 2023 which kept him sidelined for 11 months.

"Before my big injury at Tottenham, I used to score many goals like this for Fulham and Shakhtar as well," Solomon told BBC Radio Leeds.

"But since I came back with the injured leg, I couldn't score this type of goal so I was really happy that it finally came in."

The goal helped put Leeds back top of the Championship but as buoyant as Solomon may feel over regaining his ability to curl in a stunning goal, he still feels there is much work to be done before the season draws to a finish.

"We are really happy but we know we need to stay humble," he said.

"One month ago, we were already seven points clear from the top spot.

"We are not done yet, there are still four games to go and we want to win every single game until we secure our promotion."

Leeds are ahead of Burnley on goal difference and have a five-point cushion in the automatic promotion places over third-placed Sheffield United.
