Well, take a bow Brendan Aaronson of Leeds United.
The Whites are leading Chelsea 2-0 at the break at Elland Road this afternoon.
Aaronson goal v Chelsea
Aaronson kicked off the goalscoring at Leeds today with a brilliant, albeit farcical goal.
Blues goalkeeper Edouard Mendy dithered in possession and the American – who joined United this summer – forced him into a mistake before tapping into the net.
And Jim Beglin, speaking live on Optus Sport, has lavished praise on the 21-year-old for his refusal to concede a lost cause.
He said: “You have to give Aaronson all the praise in the world for chasing a lost cause. Never did he think about giving up. He made it happen.”
Aaronson certainly did make it happen and you could argue that he laid the foundations for Leeds’ second goal, too.
Jesse Marsch’s outfit doubled their lead when Rodrigo headed home from a free kick, scoring his fourth Premier League goal of the campaign already.
It was a quickfire double that’s absolutely floored Chelsea and time will tell whether Thomas Tuchel can draw a response.
So far, the West Yorkshire outfit are set to pick up seven points from a possible nine in the Premier League.
Some Leeds supporters might’ve been concerned about United’s first season without Marcelo Bielsa from the beginning of the campaign, but they certanily look in safe hands under Marsch.
That being said, Chelsea won a Champions League title only 14 months ago, so that’s worth remembering for the Whites ahead of the second half.
