When it rains, it pours
Winless in five and nine wins from 10: the formbook gave Leeds United no chance as they kicked off against Arsenal at Elland Road. All of the smart money pitched this as a free hit for the Whites, who would, at best, be looking for some crumbs of comfort going into more decisive fixtures.
The 1-0 scoreline embarrassingly fails to tell even a shred of the tale which unfolded in West Yorkshire on Sunday afternoon. Leeds were magnificent, Arsenal were error-strewn and lucky to go home with one point, let alone three.
