Former Premier League midfielder Danny Murphy has praised the performances of Mateusz Klich and Robin Koch in Leeds United’s 3-0 win over Watford. The duo started alongside each other in midfield and played a key role in Leeds keeping their first clean sheet in 18 matches.
The Whites stretched their unbeaten run in the Premier League to four matches at Vicarage Road on Saturday, a run which has seen them pick up 10 points. Raphinha, Rodrigo Moreno and Jack Harrison were on the scoresheet for Jesse Marsch’s side, in what was another significant step towards safety.
But despite Leeds’ clinical finishing in the final third, which was ultimately the difference between the two sides, Murphy instead opted to praise the work of Klich and Koch. Speaking on Match of the Day, he detailed how their defensive discipline made it difficult for Watford to play through, which helped lay the foundations for Leeds’ win.
