St John Fisher Catholic High School student and Leeds United player Archie Gray scored a wonder goal at Elland Road last night in front of almost 10,000 supporters.
The 16-year-old midfielder scored the third goal as the club’s under-23 team beat rivals Manchester United.
Gray is the great-nephew of Leeds legend, and Kirkby Overblow resident, Eddie Gray.
Highly rated by the club, he’s already featured as an unused substitute twice for the first team in the Premier League aged just 15.
Leeds director of football Victor Orta has compared Gray to a young Sergio Aguero and former manager Marcelo Bielsa said he will eventually achieve elite status in the game.
Take a look at his goal last night, which was struck from 35 yards.
