Leeds midfielder Adam Forshaw proud after full Prem debut

Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw was full of pride after making his full Premier League debut against Leicester City.

Speaking of the game, which ended 1-1 as Harvey Barnes quickly cancelled out Raphinha's opener, Forshaw said to LUTV: "The performance was really good so we'll be slightly disappointed we didn't get three points. I think if we continue to play like that: the intensity, second balls, we'll pick up points definitely yeah.

"They usually are [high-intensity games] especially at Elland Road the way we play, high intensity everybody knows. We're quite exciting at times I think and it was an open game. Yeah, I think maybe we could have ran away with the points."

Asked about how he felt to return to the starting line-up after so long away, the midfielder had a lot of people to thank.

"Yeah, I'm pleased. I'd just like to say a massive, massive thank you to Rob Price and his team, the strength and conditioning coaches, the manager, the way he's managed me throughout the summer, my family, my wife [for] putting up with me and keeping me busy on days when it was tough. I'm thankful to everybody."
