Leeds United were thrashed on Sunday afternoon, losing 4-2 away at rivals Manchester United.
The Whites were 4-0 down in the first half as a Scott McTominay brace as well as goals from Bruno Fernandes and Victor Lindelof had the hosts running riot.
Liam Cooper did pull one back for Leeds, but Daniel James and a Fernandes penalty made it 6-1, with Stuart Dallas scoring a late consolation from range.
Despite being thumped at Old Trafford, Marcelo Bielsa’s side have been hailed for their performance, having once again shown an energetic and adventurous style of play.
In fact, it seems that one Leeds player broke an eight-and-a-half-year Premier League record in Sunday’s game, that not many people appear to have noticed.
BBC Sport noted that winger Raphinha became the first player since Tony Hibbert in April 2012 to register two assists against United at Old Trafford in the same game.
The Brazilian put in the corner for Cooper’s goal before laying off for Dallas to strike for the second goal, and he provided a threat throughout.
It’s quite bizarre to have a fairly defensive right back like Hibbert being the player for Raphinha to emulate, but it’s at least something for him to appreciate having made a strong start to life in England.
