Here are our five talking points from Leeds United's 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers at Elland Road in the Championship as Crysencio Summerville hits the only goal of the evening
Leeds United had been asked to take care of business in the aftermath of Saturday’s jarring loss to Southampton and, regardless of the circumstances, take care of it they did. If last weekend was the classic Championship reality check, last night was the bread and butter of a 46-match season that requires hard yards and results when your play isn’t quite clicking into gear.
Half-time was expected to be a chance to reset from Daniel Farke, but, if anything, QPR gained a stronger foothold in the game after the break and the Whites struggled to find their rhythm again. Gareth Ainsworth’s side were so limited, however, there was never any sustained threat to Illan Meslier’s goal.
This was not the blunted, heavy-legged, cumbersome cameo we sometimes saw from Bamford last term. He looked a real option for Farke and, set against the up-and-down backdrop of Rutter and Joel Piroe’s partnership, there are big selection questions massing on the horizon for Farke. Rodon also seems to raise the levels of those around him. In the case of Pascal Struijk especially, their partnership went from strength to strength on Wednesday night.
