The Birmingham club could have climbed to the top of the table, but Marcelo Bielsa and his Leeds men ensured an abrupt stop in the Premier League winning streak.
VILLA ASTON – LEEDS 0-3:
Aston Villa had opened the Premier League with four consecutive victories and an almost unrealistic 7-2 win against Liverpool, before Friday’s home game against Leeds.
Therefore, the Birmingham club had every opportunity to take over the top of the table, but Patrick Bamford wanted it differently.

After a fast-paced first half without scoring, Bamford used the second half to improve his scoring stats. The forward scored three times and scored a hat trick.
– It’s art, said TV 2 commentator Endre Olav Osnes about Bamford’s third goal.
Thus, Leeds rise to 10 points so far this season in the Premier League, while Aston Villa left in their first defeat and are left with 12 points.
– This is what you dream of growing up, Bamford said of achievement in an interview broadcast on TV 2.
Entertainers
It was a fast-paced first half between two intrepid teams. The first chance of the match went to Leeds and forward Patrick Bamford. Ezgjan Alioski gave him a goal on a layup, tried to hit with his right and finished off with his left awkwardly.
After 12 minutes, the guests had a new and good opportunity. This time Alioski served Rodrigo Moreno perfectly at around 10 meters. The end was blocked.
27 minutes were played when Aston Villa got its first big opportunity in the first half. Ollie Watkins tricked Luke Ayling and hit. Trezeguet missed the ball, but Jack Grealish was free at the back post. Villa’s star passed the ball past the goalkeeper, but Ayling had returned to his place and was deflected before the ball entered the goal.
Grealish was active for the hosts and Leeds struggled to stop the Englishman. After 43 minutes, Helder Costa sent a free kick high over the area. Villa called for a penalty, but it appeared that the infraction was outside the penalty area. The VAR was involved and concluded that there was nothing to judge.
Just before the break, Leeds had another great opportunity. Jack Harrison unleashed a deflected effort from the right that the visiting goalkeeper did well to open the scoring. Bamford was in the right place and put one foot on the ball, but the striker directed the ball wide from about 50 feet.

The chances were great in the first half, but it was 0-0 at halftime.
Hat trick
After the break, Grealish had the first big chance. Villa’s winger dribbled everything and everyone before he could shoot from about five meters, but Leeds goalkeeper Ilian Meslier saved what could have been an iconic Grealish goal.
Minutes later, the guests took the initiative. Leeds had plenty of room and Rodrigo Moreno came in and shot from an angle. Villa keeper Emilio Martínez returned and Bamford did an easy job scoring the first goal of the game.
In the 65th minute, the visitors pushed their way down the right after a poor defense. Bamford put the ball in a good position and the pressure on Villa was anything but after the book. Thus, the forward was given an easy task to sweep the ball into the area and double the advantage to the visiting team.

Not after the second goal, Bamford scored the third of the night. This time it was Helder Costa who was the waiter. He set up Bamford, who used several touches, before sending the ball into the goal behind Martinez and completing a hat trick.
The hosts never managed to counterattack and finished 0-3.
