Leeds United know by now never to get too ahead of themselves.

Looking like favourites for promotion after five games, Leeds slipped up at the weekend at home to Swansea City.

The Whites lost 1-0, conceding an injury time goal.

After the defeat, Swansea City manager Steve Cooper said he had sussed Leeds out.

He was quoted by the Yorkshire Evening Post stating: “We came here to win, there are obvious areas to exploit against Leeds.

“We felt there were spaces (with) their clear way of playing, a good way of playing, but we felt there were certain parts of the pitch around the deep midfield where we could get into pockets and turn and hit them on fast attacks.”

Leeds fans did not agree with Cooper’s assessment.

They felt that Swansea were only able to win the game thanks to Leeds’ inability to finish, rather than a masterplan from the Welsh side.

Leeds had 21 shots to Swansea’s seven, but only managed to get three on target.
