Leeds were in a goalkeeper crisis when Peacock-Farrell emerged last season. Veteran Andy Lonergan was injured, and Felix Wiedwald was past the point of no return.
Peacock-Farrell has made a few mistakes since breaking into the team, but for a 21 year-old with almost no first team experience he has been fantastic between the sticks.
Northern Ireland rewarded his impressive rise with by giving him the nod in their UEFA Nations League opener on Saturday, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Leeds ace will be disappointed with the second Bosnian goal, as a poor header from Watford’s Craig Cathcart left him in no man’s land.
Despite the defeat, fans are heaping praise on their young stopper, who will have to keep up form to stave off pressure from Chelsea loanee Jamal Blackman, and you can find some of the best Twitter reactions down below…
