Joe Rodon could not make a massive impact at Tottenham Hotspur, but the Wales international defender seems to be flourishing at Leeds United.
Leeds United signed Joe Rodon on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window. Joe Rodon joined Leeds United from Tottenham Hotspur
Rodon moved to Spurs in 2020, but the 25-year-old has failed to do much of note at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. There was no surprise when Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou decided to send the centre-back out on loan to Leeds.
Leeds are a big club who are aiming to win automatic promotion back to the Premier League.
The Whites are playing in the Championship this season after getting relegated from the Premier League at the end of last campaign. Rodon was in action for Leeds against Millwall away from home in the Championship this afternoon.
Daniel Farke’s side beat Millwall 3-0.
Joel Piroe put Leeds in the lead in the 15th minute.
Piroe made it 2-0 to the visiting team side on 77 minutes.
And then on 81 minutes, Rutter made it 3-0 to the visiting team.
Rodon started in central defence for Leeds in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
And he was brilliant.
Praise for Joe Rodon
The Wales international centre-back stood strong at the back, made the right tackles at the right time, read the danger well, and played a big role in Leeds keeping a clean sheet.
Former Leeds defender Jon Newsome was following the match for BBC Radio Leeds. And he was hugely impressed by the display produced by Rodon, saying that the Wales international was “outstanding”.
Newsome said on BBC Radio Leeds: “Outstanding. Absolutely outstanding.”
The pundit added: “Joe Rodon was Man of the Match for me. He got his head on everything. Was a different class. Really really was.”
