Leeds fans have been heaping praise on Bailey Peacock-Farrell, after their young goalkeeper got his first clean sheet in the final match of the season.
It’s been a long and painful season for Leeds fans, but if there’s one thing they can compliment Paul Heckingbottom for it’s his trust in youth.
The ex-Barnsley man has won just four games since taking over from Thomas Christiansen in February, but that hasn’t stopped in from handing debuts to some extremely impressive youngsters.
Tom Pearce, Paudie O’Connor and Ryan Edmondson are the latest additions to the long list of academy graduates to play for the Leeds first team, but by far and away the most impressive has been Peacock-Farrell.

The 21 year-old keeper was thrown into the action against champions Wolves earlier this year, thanks to the shocking form of Felix Wiedwald.
Despite some growing pains, the Northern Irishman has gone from strength to strength, and finally got the clean sheet he deserves in Sunday’s 2-0 win over QPR.
Fans aren’t exactly optimistic about the future at the moment, but Peacock-Farrell has shown he could be the next Leeds great, and fans are showing the love for the young stopper.
