“Pascal Struijk Sends Heartfelt Message to Leeds Fan After Shocking Incident vs Sunderland. What he said will you speechless.
Pascal Struijk scored a dramatic late brace to lead Leeds United to a thrilling 2-1 victory over Sunderland.
The Dutch defender came on as an unexpected substitute, joining Joe Rothwell with less than 20 minutes remaining in the match at Elland Road.
It’s safe to say manager Daniel Farke’s decision paid off, as the pair combined to score two crucial headers, securing the win.
The atmosphere at Elland Road was electric, with fans singing well into the night, which, unfortunately, led to an injury for one supporter.
Not only did Struijk’s goals earn Leeds three points, but they also propelled Farke’s side back to the top of the Championship, after Sheffield United briefly took the lead earlier in the week.
As expected, the 95th-minute winner ignited wild celebrations in the stands, with both fans and players unable to contain their joy.
In the midst of the chaos, one fan dislocated their shoulder while celebrating and jokingly told Struijk to expect an invoice for the injury.
Struijk responded humorously on X (formerly Twitter) on February 19th, saying: “Hope you’re well, mate. How can we sort this out?”
With promotion now looking like a realistic goal for Leeds, the club’s fortunes have drastically improved following last season’s playoff heartbreak and the departures of key players like Georginio Rutter, Crysencio Summerville, and Archie Gray. This season has certainly exceeded expectations.
The passionate reaction from the fans after the dramatic goals showed just how intense the atmosphere is at Elland Road.
One fan’s dislocated shoulder, earned in the frenzy of celebration, serves as a testament to the excitement surrounding the club.
Struijk’s gesture of reaching out to the injured supporter highlights the strong connection between the players and fans, and supporters are eager to see how the situation will unfold.
