The words of Leeds United manager George Graham after he watched his charges beat Newcastle United at Elland Road in October 1997. The 4-1 win represented the first time the Magpies had tasted defeat at Elland Road in the Premiership. It was a result which swept away Leeds United's Elland Road goal hoodoo, eclipsing their season's meagre tally of two at home by half-time. Leeds showed that their previous home victory over champions Manchester United was no fluke by outplaying last season's runners-up. Goals from Bruno Ribeiro, Harry Kewell and David Weatherall - plus John Beresford's own goal - didn't fully reflect Leeds dominance. Graham's side eased up later on and allowed Keith Gillespie to pull back a consolation goal for the Magpies. The mauling was the biggest defeat of the Kenny Dalglish era at Newcastle.
