Daniel Farke has cut an impressive figure since arriving at Leeds United during a turbulent summer, but this was his team’s most emphatic statement yet.
In turning over a Leicester side who had won their previous nine league outings, Leeds served up the most significant result in the Championship this season.
That it was Georginio Rutter who should deliver the killer blow, firing home from close range in the 58th minute, was apt.
For he has come to symbolise the new chapter being patiently written by Farke at Elland Road and his popularity with Leeds fans continues to soar.
