Leeds boss Marsch happy for goalscorer Firpo

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch was pleased with goalscorer Junior Firpo in their FA Cup win at Accrington Stanley.

Firpo scored in the 3-1 victory.

Marsch said: "Is it his first goal for the club? Really? Okay. I think Junior has been really good. I know he's had a tough time here with injuries and with fans sometimes being dissatisfied with him, but his mentality to work for the team and to try to get himself into really good form has been good.

"I think now he's played in three Cup matches and I think he's been one of our best players in all three of those matches.

"So, I think we're getting him fit, we're getting him sharp and I think he's challenging and knocking on the door to get himself in the starting XI for league matches as well."
