What Georginio Rutter said to Connor Roberts in the tunnel after Leeds defeated Plymouth last night.

On Wednesday, February 7, 2024, at 18:00, Will Butcher Georginio Rutter came off the bench to help ignite a 4-1 victory over Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday night, scoring one goal and creating another – and he celebrated together with Connor Roberts. Despite being unable to play for Daniel Farke’s side in the FA Cup, Roberts, 28, went south with the Leeds squad and even participated in the warm-up. His attitude is quite amazing, which is a strong sign.

The 54-time Wales international watched as Leeds earned a place in the fifth round. Rutter came off the bench to bring his goal total to six and his assists to ten, with one apiece last night.

The same goes for Cree Summerville, while Willy Gnonto scores his second in two games. Ryan Hardie’s own goal sealed the 4-1 victory after Brendan Galloway’s equalizer. Roberts will have been very impressed.

Rutter’s tunnel videos on Twitter have been a regular event after the final whistle when Leeds wins, and yesterday night was no exception, as he celebrated with Roberts in the tunnel as he stepped in.

Georginio Rutter celebrates with Connor Roberts in the Leeds Tunnel.
The two could play together for the first time on Saturday when Leeds welcome Rotherham United at Elland Road. This is the first time Roberts will be eligible since missing Bristol City last Friday.

Hopefully, the two will be celebrating another victory in the tunnel after full-time as Leeds aim to put the pressure on Southampton and Leicester, who remain in the top two. The FA Cup run continues. Leeds will face either Aston Villa or Chelsea in the following round, depending on the outcome of tonight’s match between the two Premier League teams. Club record signing Rutter doesn’t care who we face in the fifth round.
