Summer signing Tarik Muharemovic scored a spectacular overhead kick as Leeds United finished pre-season in style with a 4-0 win against FC Augsburg.

New Whites star Tarik Muharemovic has issued a determined Leeds United message ahead of the new campaign - saluting the side’s pre-season but admitting summer results count for nothing come the new season itself.

Bosnia and Herzegovina international centre-back Muharemovic joined Leeds this summer from Sassuolo for £34.1m and the defender again impressed in Saturday’s final friendly at home to FC Augsburg as he excelled at both ends of the pitch.

As well as helping Leeds to another clean sheet, the 23-year-old scored his first goal at Elland Road in spectacular style with an overhead kick from a corner to put his side 2-0 up and en route to an easy 4-0 success.

After beginning the summer with a narrow 3-2 defeat to Wrexham, Daniel Farke’s Whites have since beaten Sunderland and Liverpool in the USA whilst also recording victories against Bundesliga sides RB Leipzig and FC Augsburg either side of a draw against Manchester United in Dublin.

Those results would equate to 13 points out of a possible 18 yet Muharemovic has been keen to highlight that Leeds ultimately start the season on none and must now translate their good form into the season itself starting with Saturday’s clash at Nottingham Forest.

Speaking to LUTV, Muharemovic was asked what Leeds took from the win against Augsburg and pre-season as a whole and how he assessed it.

"We worked hard,” said the new Whites star.

"I came a bit late in the pre-season and I saw how the players, especially the whole staff, the coach are working.

"We are really preparing for the season.

“We don't get points off these games”

"It's a big season ahead and we just want to show our qualities.

"We showed it also in the whole pre season but we know that we don't get points off these games so we want to show it from Saturday on."

Asked for his verdict on his spectacular goal, Muharemovic smiled: "I mean, I don't even know.

"I just jumped, I tried and thank God it went where it went.

"My first goal at home especially, it's a special moment but at the end of the day I'm really happy how we finished the pre-season and really happy how the whole team played, how we fought to show our qualities and that's how we want to start the new season."
