Joe Rodon and Max Wöber stepped out of defence to score their first goals for Leeds as they inched to the top of the Championship, ahead of Sheffield United on goal difference.
Given that the goalkeeper, Illan Meslier, was so underemployed he appeared in real danger of hypothermia, it is probably safe to assume that Tuesday’s home engagement with promotion rival in Middlesbrough will be somewhat tougher. No matter Leeds, and their excellent Japan midfielder Ao Tanaka in particular, did enough to suggest they should most certainly not be underestimated.
