Leeds had just one point after two games of the 2021-22 campaign in which a 5-1 hammering at arch rivals Manchester United was followed by a 2-2 draw at home to Everton.

The Whites had to wait until the seventh game of the season before bagging their first victory through October’s 1-0 win at home to Watford but Jesse Marsch’s side secured a three-point haul on the new campaign’s opening day through a 2-1 triumph at home to Wolves.

Leeds then picked up another point at the weekend through Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Southampton in which the Whites were 2-0 up with 18 minutes left.

But despite the pain of throwing away a two-goal lead, boss Marsch was still able to reflect on a double boost of two positive results in the first two games of the new campaign.
