Here are our five talking points from Leeds United's 3-2 win over Norwich City at Carrow Road in the Championship as Crysencio Summerville leads the fightback from 2-0 down
At this rate, the pain of that loss at Southampton last month may never subside. It is the one blot on Leeds United’s copybook going back to the second weekend of the season and the anomaly in an unbeaten streak of nine matches.
For those travelling between West Yorkshire and Norfolk for the match, they were faced with, roughly, an eight-hour round-trip through Storm Babet to watch their side. It was a treacherous journey in sections and the first half of Saturday’s match will have had many wondering why they bothered. Much like the victory down the road in East Anglia, the manner of this victory will do wonders for morale, belief and camaraderie in the Whites camp. These are the wins, the most unlikely of points, which successful campaigns are built upon.Everything about this game was centred on Farke’s return to by far the most successful venue in his entire career.
Farke addressed all four stands with applause before going to the Leeds end for his moment with them, but he stopped short of the normal waves he instigates after victories. It was something he used to do with the Canaries and like a respectful ex-partner, he did not want his former flame to see him dishing out the same treatment to his new love.We saw it on the opening day of the season, we saw it at home to Watford and we saw it again yesterday.
That was the night at Hull City which, you might remember, ended with the Dutchman as the most potent Leeds weapon of the night. He had been thrust into the action earlier than expected after injury to Wilfried Gnonto. It almost felt cruel seeing the teenager marched up and down the field, in the first half especially, by Norwich’s control on the game. Onel Hernandez would give Gray a torrid time on a day he looked nothing like the zippy, energetic, Cafu-like force we saw against Bristol City a fortnight ago.
