Never has that cliche about a ‘game of two halves’ felt more appropriate than in Leeds v Crystal Palace last Sunday.
The first half was so encouraging for Leeds. They were totally dominant, spurred on by their rampant supporters as they pressed well and played with plenty of width.
The full backs, Luke Ayling and Junior Firpo, were flying, and midfielders Weston McKennie and Marc Roca were landing tackles like heavyweight boxers throwing punches.
Forwards Luis Sinisterra, Patrick Bamford and Jack Harrison were peppering Palace’s goal with shots.
