Leeds 1-0 Watford: Diego Llorente strikes to hand Marcelo Bielsa's side their first victory of the season to avoid unwanted club record of going first seven games without a win

Diego Llorente secured Leeds United’s first win of the season to ensure Marcelo Bielsa avoided a piece of unwanted club history.

Llorente, returning from a hamstring injury, scored acrobatically in the first half and Leeds should have won by more as they registered 19 shots on goal.

Victory helped them climb out of the bottom three and they keep their proud record of never having gone seven games without a win at the start of season.
