Marcelo Bielsa’s team got the better of Newcastle 2-1 away from home at St. Marys Stadium in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
Raphinha put Leeds in the lead after 17 minutes, but the visiting team conceded an equaliser on 57 minutes when Miguel Almiron found the back of the net.
However, just four minutes later, Harrison, on loan from Manchester City, scored a wonderful goal to put Leeds 2-1 ahead.
Although Newcastle attacked more in the second half, Steve Bruces’ side failed to find their second goal of the game.
Harrison, who can also operate as an attacking midfielder, has revelled in the win for Leeds against Newcastle.
