After Georginio Rutter did something during Leeds United’s victory over Stoke at Elland Road, BBC Sport analyst Aidy White was left stunned.
Dan James’ 11th goal of the season in the first half gave the Whites a 1-0 victory over the Potters, with French rookie Rutter getting the assist.
However, White was taken aback by his incredible move inside his own half to evade the defender and play the pass to Rutter, who he described as “something special” to BBC Radio Leeds on March 5.
He added, “Dan James works himself some space and puts it in the net; he doesn’t have many options at all.” But Georginio Rutter’s turn a few yards from his own box has thrown me into the commentary section!
Nobody anticipated that. We would all be perplexed as to what he’s doing if that didn’t work, but it does. He’s one of those performers with flair who simply has it.”
Georginio Rutter is so important to Leeds United
With this Leeds team, Daniel Farke has created one of the most dynamic and thrilling assaults in the Championship, full of talent and pace everywhere.
Although James, Wilfried Gnonto, and even Joel Piroe are undoubtedly more well-known in the football world, Crysencio Summerville has been the player grabbing the majority of the attention thanks to his incredible record.
However, Rutter is one of the most vital players in this team this season due to his skill, inventiveness, determination, and ability; the goal he scored at Elland Road adequately summed it up.
He began the campaign ranked nine, but in recent weeks, he has moved down to the tenth spot, demonstrating his quality and adaptability and his ability to perform when it counts most.
He now has 12 assists for the season, which is tied for most in the Championship. Signing Georgi was one of the few things Jesse Marsch got right at Elland Road.
