Loan Round-Up: Praise For Pennington's Character

Leeds United boss Paul Heckingbottom said Matthew Pennington "deserves applauding" after completing the full 90 minutes for the Whites against Aston Villa on Friday night - just 10 days after suffering a calf injury.

Leeds were edged out 1-0 at Villa Park - Lewis Grabban's 29th-minute goal proving the game's decisive moment - but the Leeds manager said the defender "stood up to the challenge well". The defeat means Leeds remain 14th in the table.
