    Sat back on the lead a bit but understandable under the circumstances. Apart from a shaky 10 or 15 after the goal where they got a head of steam up, it was close to the perfect away performance.

    Fullbacks struggled with a couple of pacy wingers but pretty much everyone else won their battles today.

    We’re the best team in this division, I keep telling everyone nobody has an attacking lineup to match us. We limited them to one shot on target, we were far better than Leicester we’ve come away with 6 points from Leicester and Ipswich. This team is getting better and better

    Fantastic result. Most importantly we fully deserved it. Their defence was immense or they'd have conceded a hateful.
    Once Farke sorted how to deal with their wingers they didn't look like opening us up. They were feeding on scraps in front of Rodon and Struijk.
    As has been said, I though James was excellent but they were all very good.

    What a wonderful advertisement for the championship. No feigning injury. No arguing with ref. No var or time wasting. Just honest effort and no small amount of skill from both sides. Love our football this season

    Perfect away performance and by far the better team.

    I thought that myself, so just had a look on whoscored to check the stats.

    Passes - Leicester 693, Leeds 360
    Touches - Leicester 873, Leeds 525

    Those stats would suggest that the possession figures are correct, but it still didnt look like the type of game that I watched :)

    Meslier - 7. Great save at the death. Think he could have calmed the pressure on us late on by coming and gathering a couple of crosses. Progress made, he saved a shot.

    Gray - 6. Grew in to the game but struggled with the pace and trickery of Mavididi. Finished strongly.

    Rodon - 9. Outstanding. A real coup getting him on loan for the season. A leader and probably the best defender in the Championship.

    Struijk - 8. Seems to up his game alongside Rodon. They compliment each other really well. Made some great tackles and blocks.

    Byram - 6. Like young Archie, had a troubled evening against the pace of Fatawu and had to contend with an early booking. Committed run for the goal.

    Ampadu - 9. Him and Kamara ran the show. Battled hard and was class on the ball.

    Kamara - 10. Didn't put a foot wrong all night. A performance that only happens a handful of times in a career. Everything he tried came off. Mom.

    Piroe - 6. Missed a great chance early and forced a save 2nd half. I actually like some of his touches as he keeps things ticking along but needs to be more involved.

    Summerville - 7. Looked dangerous all game but didn't quite come off for him tonight. Twice in the 2nd half his first touch let him down when he should have been clear on goal. Still our biggest threat.

    James - 7. Scruffy first half but added a bit more quality 2nd half and worked exceptionally hard. A few poor set pieces but ultimately the winner came from one of his corners.

    Rutter - 8. Scored the winner but it wasn't his best display. Still a handful. Hopefully the goals start to flow.

    Subs

    Bamford - n/a. Charged about up front for 10 minutes.

    Gruev - n/a. Added a bit of energy to a flagging midfield for the last 10.

    Gnonto - n/a. Think he cleared a ball in his brief cameo.

    Anthony - n/a. Got 2 mins but managed to give a dangerous free kick away.

    Ayling - n/a. Got 2 minutes and nearly let a midget score the equaliser.

    Summerville 7.5 and I’d agree with the rest ;)

    Was a near perfect performance when you consider who we were playing and Farke 9/10 tonight
