Leeds United picked up a comfortable 3-0 win over Preston in the Championship last night.
Goals from Liam Cooper and Tyler Roberts extended Leeds’ impressive start to the season.
Marcelo Bielsa’s men are at the top of the table right now with 18 points from 8 matches. They will be hoping to build on this start and challenge for the title this season.
The Whites are unbeaten in their eight league games so far.
Leeds United took the lead through Liam Cooper before the break and Tyler Roberts added a brace late into the second half to secure the points for the hosts.
Leeds were desperate to get back to winning ways after two successive draws and the fans seemed quite delighted with the players’ performances last night.
Apart from the goals, Leeds put on a dominating display and Alex Neil’s men were outplayed in every department.
If the home side had taken all of their chances, it could have been a massive thrashing for Preston.
Here is how the Leeds United fans reacted to their result last night.

Tyler Roberts’ performance testament to Biesla’s pastoral care. When others criticised previous misses Bielsa said he found value in him being involved in the goal scoring opportunities. Immediate return on investment . Proper manager. MOT.

Top performance. Chuffed for Roberts getting them goals. 2 main strikers out and he comes in and does the business. Gonna take some stopping this year!!! #LUFC

This is what title chases are made of. Grinding out the hard points and scooping up the easy ones. Well done, lads. #LUFC #MOT
