Samu Saiz has dubbed his evening "incredible" after he scored a hat-trick for Leeds United in a 4-1 thrashing of Port Vale in the EFL Cup.
It took just 12 minutes for Saiz to hand Leeds the lead as he placed home a shot following a Stuart Dallas effort coming back off the post.
But Port Vale would not go in behind at the break and Michael Tonge struck against his former club after a long throw in.
On the hour mark it was 2-1 to the hosts as Saiz grabbed his second, going round the Port Vale goalkeeper to make no mistake.

Saiz was delighted with his debut and despite his limited English was clear that it had been a memorable night under the lights at Elland Road.
"I am very happy…Elland Road, first game, hat-trick, I'm very happy", Saiz said on LUTV.
"Incredible", he added.
All eyes will now be on whether Saiz is handed a start at the weekend when Leeds are in Championship action against Preston North End at Elland Road.
