Leeds ace was back to his best at the weekend.

Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich was unlucky not to be walking off the pitch celebrating three points on Saturday.

The Whites were held to a 1-1 draw by Nottingham Forest in their first game of the season at Elland Road.

Klich gave more than most, putting in one of his most creative performances since joining Leeds in 2017.

Klich created six goalscoring chances in the draw, Whoscored.com data shows.

He outshone usual creator-in-chief Pablo Hernandez in that department, who only made one key pass.

It was Hernandez who scored Leeds’ goal, from a Klich assist.

The pair are both a key part of Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United side.

Klich began last season in superb form, but he did really trail off late in the season.

It is good to see him back influencing games, and if he plays like he did at the weekend, on more occasions than most, Leeds will win.
