Hollywood star Will Ferrell was at Elland Road on Saturday to watch Leeds take on Championship rivals Burnley.

Ferrell, 57, bought a minority stake in Leeds back in May.

Ferrell is also a part owner of MLS side Los Angeles FC.

Saturday’s game pits Ferrell against another celebrity American part-owner as former NFL star JJ Watt and his wife Kealia invested in Burnley last year.

Leeds started the match in fifth place in the English second tier, with Burnley seventh.
