For a long period it did not look like Leeds would find the winner their overall performance deserved. Chances came and went as composure was absent at Elland Road until Pascal Struijk steered home a well-worked corner to set his side on the way to inflict a first league defeat of the season on Sheffield United.
Prior to Struijk’s strike Leeds had dominated but were naive in the final third as they struggled to break down a defence that had not conceded in 11 hours of football. When they did it felt worth the wait and eventually Mateo Joseph came off the bench to confirm second place for one night at least.
