Former Leeds United midfielder Johnny Giles has likened the club’s performance in the 3-0 win over Chelsea to that of their best under Marcelo Bielsa. The Whites produced their best display since the appointment of Jesse Marsch in February as they dismantled Chelsea at Elland Road to move up to third in the Premier League.
Leeds ran over 10km more than their opponents, with the press led by the likes of Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson causing the visitors all sorts of problems. And it was Aaronson’s work rate that set Leeds on their way, as he forced Edouard Mendy into a dreadful error to score his first goal for the club.
Speaking in an interview with Off the Ball, Giles reserved special praise for Marsch as to how he has managed to rediscover the side’s intensity and believes the win was very well deserved.
