Following on from the disappointing midweek draw with Luton Town, Leeds United had another chance to consolidate their position at the top of the Championship table as we made the trip to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
It was a reasonably level first half, but we definitely edged it and despite only creating three proper chances across the 45 minutes, Patrick Bamford made his effort count seven minutes in, and we had control at half time following Kalvin Phillips’ 40th minute effort.
2-0 at the break and what would the second half bring?
Well, three minutes in it was another goal – but sadly for us a lifeline for Blackburn. Thankfully we didn’t let the goal shake us too much, and five minutes later we had restored the two-goal cushion as Mats Klich got his name on the scoresheet.
3-1 was how it ended, a nice four point gap at the top of the table and now we see if Hull City can make life even easier for us tomorrow.
