Leeds may have looked somewhat uncomfortable against Nottingham Forest last week, but they bounced back in ideal fashion on Saturday afternoon.
Buoyed by a League Cup win over Salford, they returned to winning ways in the Championship courtesy of two strikes from Patrick Bamford.
He was poor against Forest, spurning six opportunities. Yet, faced with two chances that he simply couldn’t miss at the weekend, he was back among the goals as he showed his knack of being in the right place at the right time.
But arguably, it wasn’t the striker who impressed the most.

Instead it was loanee Jack Harrison, a man who has just shown why Helder Costa will have to remain patient in the search for his first league start under Marcelo Bielsa.
Costa was fantastic in this division for Wolves, scoring 15 goals and claiming 14 assists across two terms.
Harrison doesn’t boast the same sort of goal threat but his overall impact is proving decisive, even if he was frustrating at Elland Road only a week ago.
He failed to trouble the ‘keeper, having no shots, whilst there was a lack of penetration as he was successful with just one dribble.
Against the Latics, he was much improved, though.
Harrison had the opposition on strings and caused problems for Nathan Byrne on an all too regular basis.
This time out, he completed three dribbles, displaying how crafty he can be with the ball at his feet whilst he was also fouled three times as Wigan tried desperately to halt him.
They failed to do so on too many occasions as he was still able to register three shots and four key passes.
There may not have been a goal or an assist but this was certainly promising from Harrison.

He only found the net four times throughout the 2018/19 campaign but so far this season, there are indications that his end product is improving and he’s certainly becoming a more dangerous player.
At the age of 22, he’s sure to improve and it says a lot that he’s keeping someone like Costa out of the XI.
Bielsa showed a large degree of faith in putting him in from the start of the term and he’s repaid it brilliantly.
