Leeds United beat Derby County 2-0 last month, in a performance Marcelo Bielsa was very impressed by.

Marcelo Bielsa has told Leeds Live that he believes Leeds United’s best performance this season came against Derby County last month.

Leeds beat Derby 2-0, in a game which they dominated from start to finish.

The Whites scored their goals through Kemar Roofe and Jack Harrison.

And even though Leeds have won by bigger margins this season, Bielsa was particularly impressed by his side’s display against the Rams.

Indeed, he believes that Leeds showing during that match proves that they cannot complain about fatigue, with the games now coming thick and fast.

Bielsa said: “Every game we run more. More than when we need. So far the games we lost, it’s not because we lacked courage or determination but the thing is you have elements that break conclusions. And the role of the media is to offer conclusions.

“And if in this cycle we played the best game of the season, which was against Derby County, we have to take into account these details to evaluate the state of the team.

“We can’t say that in this cycle we have this negative aspect and we have a game where the opposite happened.”

Leeds have lost four of their last six outings, which has seen them lose their spot at the top of the Championship table.

Bielsa’s men are still in the top two, but the chasing pack have gained ground in recent weeks.

Leeds are next in action on Saturday, when they take on fellow promotion chasers, Middlesbrough, at the Riverside Stadium.
