Crysencio Summerville reached out to Pascal Struijk with a message of congratulations after the Leeds United captain scored in their 2-0 victory over Sheffield United. Struijk’s goal, a brilliant strike from a Joe Rothwell corner, was crucial in breaking the deadlock and securing the win for the Whites. Mateo Joseph sealed the victory with a goal in added time.
Following the match, Struijk took to Instagram to celebrate the win, with Summerville, now at West Ham, commenting with just one word: “Launch.” Both players share a Dutch connection and have played together in the past.
Sheffield United, who had been unbeaten in the Championship before facing Leeds, were unable to withstand Farke’s tactical setup. Despite facing challenges such as injuries and a thin squad, Leeds dominated the fixture thanks in part to Struijk’s standout performance.
The defender has been a key player for Leeds, consistently playing 90 minutes in all Championship matches this season and helping the team keep six clean sheets. Struijk’s determination and skill have shone through, even as other players have left the club. With his contributions, Leeds can look forward to more victories in the future.
