Will Leeds blow it this year? The Championship has been a cruel mistress to the Elland Road outfit down the years but they are now top of the league after 17 fixtures.
- It’s been a brilliant recent patch for the Whites who are hoping to exorcise their demons of last term is when they were beaten to automatic promotion by Leicester City and remarkably by Ipswich Town who achieved phenomenal campaigns.
Daniel Farke’s men battered Norwich in the play-offs but came unstuck against Southampton, failing to even score in that defeat at Wembley.
Since then, they have bounced back phenomenally well. Their promotion hoodoo, for the second time in the last five years, could be about to end.
Gone is Crycensio Summerville. Gone is the skipper, Liam Cooper, and gone is talented teenager Archie Gray.
However, as their dominant 3-0 win over Luton on Wednesday evening showed, they needn’t worry about their departures for much longer.
Leeds’ best performers against Luton
This was about a dominant performance as you can get from Farke’s side who cemented their lead at the top of the second tier in quite some style.
This is a Luton side who have been way below par under Rob Edwards this term but they are a recent relegated team all the same. To beat any recent Premier League outfit 3-0 is impressive.
The deadlock was broken after ten minutes when Sam Bryam, an unlikely goal scorer found the net with a lovely scissor kick, before Joel Piroe – arguably flattering to deceive as the main striker – made things a great deal more comfortable by scoring just before the break.
