Brenden Aaronson left a major mark in his first EFL Championship start of the 2024-25 season.
Aaronson scored the winning goal in Leeds United’s 2-0 road victory over Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night at Hillsborough. It marked Aaronson’s second goal of the campaign and his fourth overall in Leeds United colors.
After overcoming early pressure from the host Owls, Leeds United struck first in the 28th minute. Daniel James’ flicked pass allowed the Lilywhites to counter upfield before Aaronson raced into the box and slotted home a loose ball.
Mateo Joseph was tackled in the box but Aaronson finished up the play with a confident left-footed strike.
Daniel James doubled Leeds United’s lead early in the second half after Joseph’s through ball pass allowed the Welsh winger to race in towards goal. James’ chipped effort snuck in the bottom corner for a 2-0 Leeds advantage and one they wouldn’t let slip away on the road.
Leeds United would claim their first road win of the new season as Sheffield United suffered its second-straight defeat.
The Lilywhites next host Hull City at Elland Road on August 31 in its final match before the September international window.
