da fezbet： Leeds United looked good on Saturday.
da bet7k： It’s a welcomed change after winning just two of their previous 11 games, but it has to be said that United were playing something close to their very best against Bristol City.
The Yorkshire club’s 1-0 win was described as a battering by Graham Smyth, and to be honest, that is quite an apt description.
United had 68% of the possession and they didn’t give the Robins much of a chance as they limited them to just one shot on target.

Luke Ayling was named as the WhoScored star man for his performance, but a look at the stats shows that there was another player who could have been considered for the award.
Simply put, Kalvin Phillips was absolutely brilliant against Lee Johnson’s side. The stats tell you all you need to know about his performance.
The 24-year-old showed exactly why he’s earned the moniker of the Yorkshire Pirlo, playing three key passes on Saturday, a tally only equalled by Mateusz Klich.
Passing wasn’t his only attacking contribution though as he also made two successful dribbles.
However, it wasn’t just going forward where Phillips excelled.
Despite Bristol rarely having the ball he still managed to put up some brilliant defensive numbers. He made two tackles, two interceptions and three clearances, making him one of the strongest performers at the back for the Whites.
The midfielder was an absolute behemoth at both ends of the pitch, and this performance perfectly encapsulated why he has previously been hailed as the best player in the Championship.
