What the Leeds United players keep telling Anton Stach to do 'all the time' after Wolves stunner

Arguably, the goal of the weekend and certainly, Leeds United’s best goal this season, Anton Stach is revelling in the praise that comes on a Monday morning after a Premier League weekend.

Leeds fans knew it was possible after watching the Germany international curl one into the bottom corner against AC Milan in Dublin. At Molineux, in the rain, Stach did it again, smacking one past Wolves’ Jose Sa.

A massive 3-1 win that saw Leeds come from behind, after Dominic Calvert-Lewin had equalised. Stach then turned provider after putting Leeds in front, his weight of pass was perfect for Noah Okafor to score.

Daniel Farke will need goals to come from all over the pitch if Leeds are to survive in the Premier League this season. So, to see three of his new signings score at Wolves on Saturday, will have felt really good.

Anton Stach shares what his teammates keep telling him to do

A gorgeous free-kick, that not only found its way into the top corner, but it did so by outwitting Sa in the Wolves goal. Stach made the brave decision to hit one towards Sa’s side, and it paid off for the midfielder.

Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds after his goal, Stach admitted that his free-kicks in training have not been as successful. The German says his Leeds teammates keep on telling him to shoot when he gets a chance.

“It was a good position. I told Gabi, I want to shoot. In training, it hasn’t been the best, but today it was a good hit. Everyone in the team tells me all the time to shoot all the time because I have such a hard shot.”

Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer impressed with Anton Stach goal

The belief that Leeds lack a set-piece taker has certainly been put to bed, with Stach’s effort. Leeds might prefer to have Stach in the box, but Stach’s goal saw him break a record previously held by Kalvin Phillips.

Speaking on The Rest Is Football on Monday morning, both Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer were full of praise for the former Hoffenheim star. Lineker said: “The free-kick from Stach, blimey, a beauty wasn’t it.”

Shearer added: “Fantastic strike wasn’t it, special.” That is now a goal, an assist and a penalty won in the 1-0 win over Everton, with Stach’s shot handled by James Tarkowski. It is clear that Stach will be pivotal.

Stach will be looking to build on his first goal with Leeds set to return to Elland Road on Saturday. Two home games remain before the October break, with Leeds hosting Bournemouth and then Tottenham.
