Aaronson Scores First Goal in Over a Month

Midfielder Adds Late Tap-in to Seal Leeds Victory

Brenden Aaronson delivered a timely response to his recent struggles, playing a pivotal role in Leeds United's 3-1 victory over Middlesbrough at Elland Road on Tuesday night.

The American midfielder had been under scrutiny following a six-match goalless and assist-less streak, with some fans calling for him to head to the bench. However, Leeds manager Daniel Farke remained steadfast in his support, consistently praising Aaronson's work rate.

Teammate Pascal Struijk came to Aaronson's defense, highlighting the player's often-unnoticed contributions. "He puts in the work, runs a lot for the team and does a lot of stuff off the ball," Struijk told BBC Radio Leeds. "Then his time will come and he'll score the goals he deserves." leedsunited.news

On Tuesday, Aaronson proved Struijk right. His performance was notably improved, particularly in the final third, where he showcased neat turns and creative movement. The goal came as a perfectly timed culmination of his hard work, helping Leeds secure their eighth consecutive home league win in the Championship.

This performance could be a turning point for Aaronson, demonstrating his ability to overcome a challenging run of form and continue to be a crucial player for Leeds United.
