Brenden Aaronson salutes 'huge' fresh Leeds United boost and eyes Aston Villa example with Liverpool message
Brenden Aaronson starred again as Leeds United left Sunderland with a 1-1 draw.
Whites ace Brenden Aaronson is eyeing Aston Villa and Fulham examples in saluting a “huge” fresh Leeds United boost ahead of the New Year’s Day trip to Liverpool.
Leeds went into Sunday’s Premier League clash at Sunderland on a four-game unbeaten run but looked on course to suffer a first defeat since November’s 3-2 loss at Manchester City as Simon Adingra fired the Black Cats ahead.
Leeds, though, despite losing Joe Rodon to injury, produced a strong response, equalising two minutes after the interval through Dominic Calvert-Lewin and largely dominating the second half en route to a 1-1 draw.
Daniel Farke’s Whites undoubtedly created enough chances to leave with three points instead of one but Aaronson highlighted the importance of extending the unbeaten run to five games as he cited the value of momentum in English football’s top flight.
“Look at Aston Villa”
Speaking to LUTV, Aaronson was asked if it was important that the draw at Sunderland further extended United’s unbeaten run.
"100 per cent,” said the American.
"I think rhythm is a huge thing and momentum is a huge thing in this league.
"Look at Aston Villa, they have gone 10-11 games now with a win and same with some other teams when you get momentum in this league.
“We’ve got to”
"I think Fulham have got nine points in a row, three wins in a row, you just pull away from everybody.
"So I think keep the momentum, momentum is huge for us.
"We've got to keep this going.
"It's going to be a tough away game at Liverpool but we are up for it.
"We've done great away from home in recent times and we've got to keep doing it."
