Having been mocked for costing Leeds more than Manchester United paid for Cristiano Ronaldo, Dan James was entitled to celebrate a start and a win on Saturday, something that eluded his replacement at Old Trafford.
Marcelo Bielsa spent more than two years trying to bring the lightning winger to Elland Road and this was his first full dividend as Leeds claimed their maiden victory of the season more convincingly than the scoreline suggested.
In torrential rain, James was unplayable as he ran at a terrified Watford defence. On one occasion, Kiko Femenia was booked after grabbing the Wales forward rugby-style around the waist.
