Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa says more's to come from Rodrigo after his double in victory at Burnley.

The 30-year-old effectively killed off the Clarets with his first goal, skipping between Ben Mee and James Tarkowski before beating Bailey Peacock-Farrell with a delightful finish, and then two minutes later he rounded the goalkeeper to cap a fine team move.

“Rodrigo is a player at a very high level," Bielsa said. “He's one of the strikers for the Spanish national team and they are a powerhouse. He's a player, like I've said before, that it takes him a while to get to his full form.

“When he finally finds his full form he's a player that is very unbalancing…

“I think these 50 minutes that Rodrigo played against Tottenham and today, that were at a very good level, are preferable than to play a lot of minutes when you're not at your best.

“I think in the game against Tottenham and the game today, I think we saw a version of Rodrigo close to what he's capable of."
