A former Leeds United star has reacted to Friday night's massive Premier League win over West Ham.
Joshua Guilavogui has reacted to Leeds United’s vital 2-1 win over West Ham United on Friday night.
The Whites halted a three-game winless streak thanks to goals from Brenden Aaronson and Joe Rodon, ultimately rendering Mateus Fernandes’ late strike nothing more than a consolation.
Friday’s result lifts Leeds up to 15th in the table, six points clear of the relegation zone and seven ahead of the Hammers, maintaining what has been a promising start to life back in the Premier League.
Joshua Guilavogui reacts to Leeds United 2-1 West Ham
Guilavogui, of course, played a role in helping Leeds back into the top-flight, making 16 Championship appearances during the 2024/25 season after arriving as a free agent - as well as another two outings in the FA Cup.
And despite those Championship outings spanning just 57 minutes, the midfielder proved a hugely popular figure among both supporters and teammates, thanks to his character and personality.
"He's an unbelievable guy,” Daniel Farke said of Guilavogui last year. “Everyone who has worked with him was full of praise for his character. He was captain for more or less every team he's played for, that already says enough.”
Clearly, Leeds United left an impression on Guilavogui as well. The 35-year-old - who is still without a club - featured on the comically named French version of Match of the Day (Match of Ze Day) on Friday night, analysing Leeds’ latest victory.
And from the studio, Guilavogui posted the following message: “Friday night. Under the lights. Congratulations, @LUFC ! Massive win! Elland Road — we can hear you all the way to Paris! Don’t stop buzzing!!!”

Guilavogui’s post garnered massive attention from Leeds supporters, who still hold the French midfielder in very high regard. Here are some of the best responses:

@JayCoyle301: “Love you Joss.”
Guilavogui and his fellow Leeds fans will hope to enjoy further big results when Daniel Farke’s men take on Brighton and Nottingham Forest in back-to-back away games, before hosting Aston Villa following the November international break.
