Daniel Farke believes Crysencio Summerville can get even better after the forward scored twice in Leeds’ 4-1 thrashing of Huddersfield at Elland Road.
The Dutchman – who also scored twice at Norwich last weekend – also set up a goal for Dan James as Leeds raced into a 4-0 lead during a dominant first-half display.
But Farke would like to see more from the 21-year-old, with the Leeds boss insisting: “In terms of end product he has improved a lot in comparison to the start of the season.
“I think he was already playing on a top level but it is necessary for a young player to develop so that he is getting goals and assists.
“(In training) We are always bringing him into situations where he has to finish, where he has to find the finishing pass under pressure.
“It is about consistency, so a really good week in terms of end product but come on, keep going.”
Farke was delighted with his side’s performance, adding: “If you are 4-0 up at half-time I don’t think you can complain too much.”
James fired in the opener from 25 yards as Leeds eventually made their early pressure pay.
Summerville picked his spot for the second as the visitors’ defence failed to cope with Leeds’ free-flowing style with forward Georginio Rutter once again proving a handful.
Rutter was involved again in Leeds’ third, laying the ball off to Summerville who burst from his own half to set up James who fired a shot across Lee Nicholls.
Rutter again provided the chance for the fourth Leeds goal which came in first-half stoppage time.
He burst down the left and cut the ball back for Summerville who had time to turn twice inside the area before beating Nicholls with a shot which went through a crowd of players.
Huddersfield were gifted a consolation by Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier who was unable to hold a shot from Sorba Thomas from outside the area.
Michal Helik had timed his move to stay onside and he fired in the rebound from close range with 70 minutes on the clock.
Huddersfield boss Darren Moore admitted his side suffered a disappointing day to end a poor week for his players on the back of a 4-0 home loss to Cardiff.
Moore said: “It’s a disappointing afternoon. It’s probably capped off what’s been a bad week for us results wise and in terms of performance.”
Moore felt his side missed the chance to get back into the game before Leeds got their second goal.
He added: “They went 1-0 up and we had a chance and if we could have capitalised on that… After that Leeds got two quick goals.
“We got into some wonderful threatening areas. When we got the ball around the Leeds area we just chose the wrong pass.
“The two quickfire goals from Leeds took the game away from us. We know they are a threatening team, certainly here.”
Moore was pleased with the way his players responded after the break, though, saying: “I made a couple of changes at half-time to solidify the team but the game just petered out in the second half.
“What I don’t want to do is lay the blame anywhere. We win together and we suffer defeats together as one.
“The team need to and will show better. We have to get back working and put this poor week behind us very quickly and move on.”
