Whites beat La Liga side in friendly. Friendly. Leeds United 2 (Struijk 16', Rodrigo 58'). Real Sociedad 1 (Zubimendi 10'). Leeds ...

Shortly into the second half and Marsch’s side would go ahead in the game! The La Liga outfit had an opportunity to hit back quickly. Many years his junior and wearing a United shirt, Willy Gnonto also had an effort at goal when well placed, but couldn’t hit the target either. Coming into this one, they faced a talented Real Sociedad side who sat third in the table, only behind Real Madrid and Barcelona. Brais Mendez - top scorer for the away side so far this season - turned provider as he whipped in a dangerous cross, right onto the head of Martin Zubimendi. It wouldn’t be long before Marsch’s side hit back though, and in superb fashion.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY DAVID COVERDALE: Crysencio Summerville has just completed a shooting drill in the Spanish sun when he wanders over to the side of the ...

'If I can keep going, that is the plan.' And it was Leeds' plan for Summerville — who was born in Rotterdam to Surinamese parents — which persuaded him to leave his boyhood club, Feyenoord, in 2020. Summerville also hopes he will be dancing at the next World Cup with the Netherlands, who he represents at Under 21 level and with whom he won the U17s Euros in 2018. That is bound to be the case again on December 28, when Manchester City visit Elland Road, with fans having been starved of home Premier League action for seven weeks. Indeed, Summerville has been something of a pet project for Marsch since he was appointed in the spring. In the Anfield aftermath, the Leeds boss told the youngster he was going to be keeping a close eye on him to ensure his standards did not slip. 'He always told me if you work hard for me, I'll work hard for you to get you in the team, so that's what I'm doing. And Marsch believes Summerville has benefited from the professionalism and maturity of Leeds' new Italian forward, who at 19 is actually two years younger than his team-mate. But while Bielsa would have happily granted his wish, the club insisted on Summerville staying. It is strange to think now, but Summerville had not even scored for Leeds before he netted the consolation in a 3-2 home defeat by Fulham in October. 'I am young and still learning, but I have to keep in check with the older players. 'As a young kid, you dream of playing in the Premier league,' says the Dutchman in his first English newspaper interview. Little could he have imagined that he would have just as much to celebrate the following week.

For Eustace though, his only focus will be the football and already attention will switch to the tough game at Burnley and it will be interesting to see whether Hall does play a part. Eustace had cooled talk that Hall would move to the Premier League side ahead of the game, as he reiterated his desire to keep the teenager, who is seen as the latest talent to come through the ranks at the Blues academy. [is poised to join Leeds United in January](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/exclusive-george-hall-leeds-close-signing-fight-off-rivals-birmingham-powerless), it naturally prompted speculation that he was left out due to the move, as the window is open in a few weeks.

[Leeds United](https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united) have the chance to bolster their squad with some signings in the upcoming January transfer window. Youngsters could also head out of the exit door at Elland Road to get some experience under their belts.

He has become a bit-part player under Jesse Marsch this term and has not started in any of the Whites’ Premier League games.

“That's very individual and also it's a little bit just looking at the progress,” he said.

It’s sure to be a close contest again next week in the last of Leeds United’s mid-season friendlies, and it will certainly be a good barometer to see how Leeds compare to Real Sociedad and AS Monaco, and to see where we are in terms of preparations for the visit of Pep and his Premier League champions. Brazilian striker Sonny Anderson scored the game’s only goal from a deflected free-kick after 23 minutes, but a string of fine saves from Lukic denied French striker Mickael Madar, who later played for Everton, and in the end, the euphoric sheen of the first leg was barely detectable as Leeds meekly proceeded to the next round 3-1 on aggregate. Leeds fans of a certain vintage will have fond memories of our friends from the French Riviera, as our previous meeting served up a stellar European night back in 1995. Leeds made plenty of changes in the second half and turned things round, with goals from Joe Gelhardt and a beauty from Mateusz Klich winning the match 2-1, and securing the widely coveted Festa d’Elx trophy into the bargain. And the peculiarity of this season doesn’t end there, because before the intensity of Premier League action resumes against Manchester City at Elland Road on December 28th, we make a tentative return to the relatively tranquil domain of European football. The pre-season fixture against Serie B side Cagliari at the end of July was something of a canter, even if our brief second half brain-freeze put an over-generous slant on the 6-2 scoreline.

Tony Dorigo was left watching on in awe as Pascal Struijk struck a "tremendous" equalising goal for Leeds United against Real Sociedad at Elland Road.

“Going forward I think he has just got better and better and here, well, this is the shot of a centre half. [He said](https://twitter.com/lufc/status/1603843679138902016?s=61&t=MFOOMCDa6FyhdZsg_OSkNg): “Pascal, he really has been tremendous this season, having to play at left-back, we know how good his defensive qualities are. After falling a goal down in the opening ten minutes of the mid-season friendly, the defender’s strike was just the response Jesse Marsch would have been after.

Leeds United came back from a goal down to win another mid-season friendly before they return to competitive action.

Maric said: 'I think we were the better team today and that is something very positive for us to build on. The Spaniard did the rest in front of goal and sent the 'keeper the wrong way with a reversed left-footed finish. The versatile Struijk smashed home the leveller with a left-footed strike from the edge of the box - leaving the Sociedad 'keeper with no chance in goal.

The venue has been popular with football fans in Elland Road since the 1960s.

Kevin Dolecki said it is a "shame" the beloved pub has closed down. And earlier this year the pub was at the centre of controversy when they allowed a German band which uses Nazi symbolism on their merchandise to perform in their venue in July. Hoping it is still a pub though." In 2020, the pub was under threat a developers planned to turned the spot into a Costa Coffee drive thru. Stephen Hall said: "What's happened to the Drysalters Pub - it's been closed for the passed few weeks now." While Mick Panther said he "spent many a happy hour in The Salters." Andy Pearce said: "What a sad end to yet another Leeds pub." Sad day another good pub gone." As well as loved by football fans, it was also used often used as a venue for funeral wakes. Paul Askham said: "Drysalters all boarded up. The pub was formerly run by pub chain Greene King and is also close to Cottingley Crematorium.

Assistant head coach Rene Maric was pleased with the workout for his Leeds United team when they came from behind to beat a quality Real Sociedad side 2-1 ...

I think the second half could have been better, I think there are some things to improve. He added: “You’re always facing different opposition and different styles. “I think that we came out better into the game from the start. With more substitutions to follow the flow of the game was interrupted and it was not the most exciting of contests, but it was competitively played with some tasty and in some cases over the top tackles from both teams that brought four deserved bookings. “It’s good learning for us to play against these opponents, it’s very good to have these challenges to build towards the restart of the Premier League.” Real Sociedad showed in patches why they are enjoying a fine season in third place in the Spanish League and took an early lead only for United to hit back with goals by Struijk and Leeds' own Spaniard Rodrigo to make it two wins from two in their build-up to the Premier League resumption.

He is perhaps in line for another start given his impact and the number of injuries the club currently has, too. The 26-year-old started the season well, scoring and assisting four goals in the opening three games, but has yet to register any kind of contribution since then. Klich has already shown to Marsch what he may miss should a move to FC Dallas in the MLS.

But he stuck at it and played a role in the winner, getting at least some reward for a tireless shift that showcased his speed and footwork. Rasmus Kristensen was back from the World Cup and getting stuck in early doors. At least, according to Rene Maric, it wasn't an injury and he should be fine for Manchester City. This game wasn't a cracker, the performance wasn't sparkling but it was a step forward. He was the best of Jesse Marsch's second half substitutes and looked perfectly at home.
