Niall Huggins posts message on Twitter after Leeds debut vs Arsenal

Leeds United lost 4-2 against Arsenal in the Premier League where Niall Huggins made his senior debut for the Whites.

The 20-year-old replaced Gjanni Alioksi in the second half when the Gunners were already leading by 4-0.

Alioski found it really hard to deal with Bukayo Saka, and Marcelo Bielsa made a tough call to bring the young full-back in place of him.

The Argentine boss admitted after the game that it was “difficult” and “unfair” on the youngster considering the circumstance. However, Huggins coped really well, and Leeds went on to pull back two goals.
