Great game: Leeds de Bielsa achieve their first victory in the Premier League

A barrage of goals, like their previous game against Liverpool, was what Leeds United starred in in their first home game in the Premier League this season. Marcelo Bielsa’s team beat Fulham 4-3 at Elland Road and added their first three points after being promoted to the first division of English football.

Loco’s team was the deepest from the start and it didn’t take long to show it on the scoreboard. After five minutes a center rebounded in the left area of ​​the area, where Hélder Costa controlled and took a strong shot that left Areola with no options. It was 1-0 and the first goal at home for Leeds this season.

At 33 ′ the advantage ended. Robin Koch interrupted an attack with a sweep causing a penalty, which Aleksandar Mitrović converted for Fulham. But in the 39 ‘another penalty would tip the balance again for the locals, when in a center they pushed Patrick Bamford. Mateusz Klich sent it to the network from 12 steps to go to rest with 2-1 in favor.

In the second fraction, Leeds came out with the same intensity and had their benefit in the 50 minute. A great goal with simplicity. Klich catches, spins, and lands a filtered pass to Bamford. This one on the edge of the area receives, accommodates and defines the far post. 3-1 the score was put, which did not calm Bielsa on the edge of the court, who constantly gave directions to his squad.

The Argentine’s challenges were not in vain. Bamford ran down the left wing in minute 57 to cross into the box. Costa entered from behind and defined in front of the goal. It was 4-1 that validated the good game of the whites; although defense is not his strong suit. In 62 ′ Bobby Reid scored a new goal for Fulham, while in 67 ′ Mitrović and a header put the match at 4-3.

Luckily for the former coach of the Red, the scoreboard was there and his team was able to celebrate the first victory on their return to honor football in England. Next Sunday, he will visit Sheffield United to continue climbing the Premier table.
