Leeds United were back at their best on Saturday as they won only their second game of 2020 against Bristol City.
The Whites have been poor of late, winning just two of their previous 11 league games before their clash with the Robins, but they turned on the style against Lee Johnson’s outfit.
Indeed, not only did the Whites pick up all three points, but they absolutely dominated the game having 68 per cent of the possession as well as limiting their opponents to just one shot on target.

As you would expect, the EFL have recognised United’s brilliant performance on Saturday by handing one of their top performers a spot in the Team of the Week.
The club tweeted about Luke Ayling’s inclusion in the side.
It has to be said that the right-back has more than earnt his spot in this week’s team. He scored the winning goal and had more shots than anyone else on the pitch.
However, some Leeds fans still weren’t happy as they criticised the team selection due to the fact that Kalvin Phillips didn’t have a spot in the squad.
To be fair, there is certainly an argument to be made that Phillips deserved a place in the team.
The Yorkshire Pirlo made three key passes alongside dominating at the back with two tackles, two interceptions and two clearances.
Others had a more positive view on the matter stating that Ayling fully deserves his place in the team.
However, one fan couldn’t resist adding that Phillips also should have been in there while also praising the defender.
Another section of the fanbase wondered how Bristol City’s goalkeeper missed out.
Despite United’s dominance, the game finished 1-0, and that is at least partly down to Daniel Bentley’s heroics between the sticks.
In other news, there’s one likely outcome of Kiko Casilla’s FA hearing.
