Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United won against West Bromwich Albion at Elland Road last Friday evening.
Leeds hammered West Brom 4-0 at Elland Road in the Championship last Friday evening.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side were the better team from start to finish, and the way they dismantled the Baggies – who are also aiming for automatic promotion to the Premier League – has sent a strong message to the rest of the teams in the division.
Ashton was impressed with the performance of Leeds, and he has also praised the fact that head coach Marcelo Bielsa played the same team thrice in a row in the space of a week.
“They were outstanding,” Ashton said about Leeds on the EFL Show on Quest TV. “Their energy levels, intensity, right from the kickoff was superb. It was one of the best performances they have had all season.
“And to pick the same team three times in a week, for them to go out and perform like that, I think says a lot about what the manager said to them.”
Promotion push
The win against West Brom means that Leeds are now second in the Championship table with 67 points from 35 matches, just two points behind leaders Norwich City.
The Whites will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Bristol City away from home in the Championship.
