It proved to be another frustrating afternoon for Leeds United after they suffered a 3-0 defeat against struggling Everton at Goodison Park on the weekend.
Goals from Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane and Richarlison sealed the win for the Toffees as Leeds were beaten on the road in the Premier League for the first time in 2022.
The Whites were second best from the get-go and struggled to gain any kind of momentum in the game, which may have surprised some supporters following the 3-3 draw at Aston Villa.

Marcelo Bielsa's side were on the front foot, pressed in the right areas and caused Villa many problems as they came away with a well-earned point.
This was the complete opposite at Goodison Park, however, as the Whites lacked belief in the final third and struggled to break down Everton, who hadn't kept a clean sheet in their previous 15 matches.
Leeds weren't as potent going forward and they must address it heading into an important game against Manchester United this weekend.
In fact, the Whites were the only side out of the Other14 clubs who didn't record a shot on target in Gameweek 25.
Opponents Everton (10) posted the most efforts on goal, while Wolverhampton Wanderers (7), Brighton & Hove Albion (6) and Burnley (5) make up the top-four.
Meanwhile, Watford sit second bottom having had just one shot on target in their 2-0 defeat against Brighton, with Leicester City, Newcastle United and Brentford all on two.
The list includes every team apart from the traditional top-six in Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
It's something that has often not been associated with Leeds under Bielsa and they didn't have much confidence on the ball, resulting into a relatively comfortable day for Everton.
A reason why this could be the case is due to the quick turnaround between the two matches and the Whites' injuries, espeically in midfield and attack at the moment.
Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips are still missing, while Adam Forshaw is still returning to full fitness, with the latter key in controlling the tempo of matches.
Raphinha has also been struggling to regain top form and was subsequently substituted at half-time as Daniel James moved out to the right-hand side after being left isolated up front.
Tyler Roberts was the man to come on, but he didn't quite have the same impact Bielsa would've wanted and the Whites failed to trouble Jordan Pickford at any point during the contest.
With the Red Devils up next, Bielsa knows the importance of the game to the fans and they will be looking for a reaction in front of a packed-out Elland Road.
