Leeds United left-back Sam Byram more than justified his place in the lineup at the weekend when he assisted for Manor Solomon during the 4-3 win.
The Whites have managed to move top of the Championship despite their recent injury crisis scuppering Daniel Farke’s hopes for naming a consistent lineup.
Suspension to Junior Firpo prior to the international break meant that Leeds faced Swansea with two full-backs ruled out, with Isaac Schmidt recovering from hernia surgery.

Sam Byram gets fine assist to set up Manor Solomon’s brace
Manor Solomon netted a brace for his first goals in Leeds colours against Swansea, but on both occasions the winger could not miss.
He was part of the pacy breaks at which Leeds managed to spring in behind the Swansea high line, receiving the ball on a plate from Dan James for the equaliser at 1-1.
For the second of Solomon’s goals, Pascal Struijk clipped another delightful ball into the path of Sam Byram, who rolled into the path of the Israel international, turning in off the crossbar to make it 2-3 to the visitors.
A goal apiece after that saw Leeds snatch victory in added time through Willy Gnonto to go top of the table.

Sam Byram’s pace praised by Largie Ramazani
Byram took to Instagram to share his delight at being on the winning side while having a crucial contribution along the way too:
Byram’s quickness to break beyond Swansea caught the eye of Largie Ramazani and Joel Piroe, as they praised the full-back in the comments:
Byram keeping his place very well while Firpo is out
When you’re looking to maintain consistency in the Championship promotion race, you need to react to players being absent with likewise performances from those that are stepping in.
Now, there’s a contrast in attacking quality between Firpo and Byram, but the latter is more than holding his own mostly.
This performance was as good as we’ve seen from Byram for a while in a Leeds shirt and he should be taking a lot of confidence into this Wednesday’s clash with Luton.
