Brenden Aaronson’s only disappointment from his Premier League debut is that he will not be attributed with the winner, not that he will accept it was an own goal. Jesse Marsch made the American his first Leeds signing, getting his compatriot to join six days after they scraped Premier League survival.
The forward showed everything that the new Leeds should be with his relentless work off the ball and skill on it before essentially forcing Rayan Aït-Nouri to put the ball into his own net. The relief of survival at Elland Road has been replaced by hope of progress in an American revolution.
