‘A joy to watch’: Pundit can’t believe how incredibly ‘beautiful’ Leeds were on Saturday

Leeds United were in rampant form on Saturday as they ran out 4-0 winners away at Burnley, with Marcelo Bielsa’s Whites scoring three times in the second half.

The Elland Road outfit took the lead on the stroke of half time as Mateusz Klich curled home from the edge of the area.

Leeds turned the screw in the second half and doubled their advantage through Jack Harrison, who steered the ball into the net after Ezgjan Alioski’s effort looked set to go out.

Harrison then provided two assists for substitute Rodrigo, who chipped the ball over Bailey Peacock-Farrell for his first before rounding the former Leeds man for the visitors’ fourth.

The result saw Leeds all-but cement a place in the top half of the Premier League table, with Aston Villa four points behind.

Indeed, the Whites can finish the season in sixth place if results go their way, and they’ve done all this while not compromising on their exciting style of football.

Leeds icon and BBC pundit Noel Whelan was delighted with how his team has fared this season, singing their praises on Twitter:

Up next for Leeds is Tuesday’s trip to Southampton before wrapping up the season with West Brom at Elland Road on Sunday.
