Leeds United's blistering first-half performance against Huddersfield Town on Saturday was not a typical performance this season
The importance of scoring the first goal was underlined for Leeds United this weekend, after Huddersfield Town defender Michal Helik admits Dan James' 20th-minute opener 'broke' the Terriers in their Yorkshire derby defeat. Three more goals followed before the break in a clash which was effectively ended as a contest by half-time.
“Obviously we are so disappointed about the performance. The only thing we can do is learn from it and analyse what went wrong in that first half. I’m sure we will take the lesson and improve ourselves after that.“I just feel sorry for our fans because they came here and filled their sector and we wanted to get a result here for them especially and for ourselves as well. We’re so disappointed really.
It took Leeds six Championship games this season to open the scoring, with Joel Piroe's early goal at the Den getting Daniel Farke's men up and running in the 3-0 win at Millwall. Victories over Watford, QPR, Bristol City and Huddersfield Town have also seen the Whites strike first, but that makes up just five of their 14 fixtures so far.
