Leeds moved back on top last night as we beat Hull City 1-0 at the KCOM Stadium in the Sky Bet Championship.
The Whites dominated the game in truth but the score did not reflect that and it seems clear that we need to find that golden touch in front of goal once more.
However, the three points is all that matters with Middlesbrough also winning and West Brom playing tonight.
We’re top for now, though, and Marcelo Bielsa has called on his players to prove that we deserve to stay there.
He said via the Yorkshire Evening Post:
“We’ll have to demonstrate that we can stay top and demonstrate that we deserve it.”
We certainly will have to show that we deserve it and the Argentine has laid down the gauntlet here.
I think we’re certainly capable of achieving it, too, as long as we all stay fit and on top of our games.
Up next, then, it’s Brentford and that should be very entertaining indeed.
