Brenden Aaronson: We wanted three points today | OneFootball

Brenden Aaronson took his chance brilliantly for Leeds, sprinting onto a loose ball and finishing past Senne Lammens to earn United a more-than-deserved point Sunday afternoon.

After the match, the U.S. international spoke to the media about the goal and the Whites’ strong run of form.

“It is great for the team to stay unbeaten,” Aaronson said, “But of course we wanted three points today.

“It is tough because you are fighting the whole game to get good chances, because Man United have great players and they are tough to break down. So, you know, you get the chance to score, but then it is about trying to keep the lead.”

The American midfielder outlined what he was thinking in the lead-up to his second goal of the Premier League campaign.

“I think when I see Dom going up for headers, of course, I try to run off him,” Aaronson said. “To be honest, I just was kind of just running in behind to see if I could get lucky.

“Sometimes you have to take a chance. The ball came to me. I think that the centre-back didn't know that I was going to be kind of running off his shoulder like that. It was a good touch. And then it is just about putting it on target.

“I think we need to keep this unbeaten streak going. It's going to be a tough game in Newcastle. We know that, of course. I think we are going to keep this confidence but not get too ahead of ourselves and we will be ready for the game.”
