Graeme Souness on Jesse Marsch emerging from Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United shadow after Chelsea win

Graeme Souness believes Leeds United's win over Chelsea lifts Jesse Marsch out from Marcelo Bielsa's shadow at Elland Road, but admits winning football matches is the only way he'll be able to continue doing that. The former Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers boss, like many, was not sure how the American would fare in the Premier League, but has been made to eat his own words after the result at the weekend.

The 69-year-old heaped praise on Marsch for masterminding the win over Chelsea, but admits there's still wok to be done. Leeds' unbeaten run now stretches to three games and the win over their historic rivals was the first clean sheet of the campaign.

Souness told talkSPORT: "Chelsea last week were fabulous, although they still only had three shots on target, scored with two, Lloris made a save, they’re still in need of that goalgetter. The football they played (vs Spurs) was top notch, they looked a team and you’re thinking they’re just missing someone who can put the ball in the back of the net for them.
