Leeds United continued their impressive start to the 2019-2020 Championship campaign with a 1-0 win over Brentford at Elland Road last night, going top of the table as a result.
An 81st-minute goal from summer transfer deadline day signing Eddie Nketiah secured all three points for manager Marcelo Bielsa’s men, and it was a solid performance from the hosts despite the lack of plenty goals.
Leeds had 70% ball possession, 11 shots, with four on target, while Brentford attempted five shots, with only finding its way to Kiko Casilla.
While the Spanish goalkeeper was hardly called into action by the visitors’ attack, he was involved in the flow of things, helping to build-up play from the back.
