The area of the field Leeds United could exploit against Newcastle with defender lacking match-sharpness

Raphinha had arguably his best game for Leeds United last weekend, as the Brazilian created seven chances in the game. He played a role in each of Jack Harrison's three goals and laid on the assist for Mateusz Klich's goals which was disallowed by VAR after hitting an offside Rodrigo on the goal line.

One of the key aspects of this performance was Leeds getting the ball to their star attacker quickly and in space.

For the opening goal, Luke Ayling played a long ball down the right wing and Aaron Cresswell could not compete with Raphinha in the race. The winger then carried the ball into the box before cutting the ball back to Klich to shoot. Lukasz Fabianski saved the Pole's effort before Adam Forshaw touched the rebound back to Harrison to drill home.
