Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United won against Huddersfield Town today.
Leeds United have maintained their good run of form with victory over Huddersfield Town away from home in the Yorkshire derby this afternoon.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side headed into the Championship game against Huddersfield at the John Smith’s Stadium on the back of a 4-0 victory over Middlesbrough at Elland Road in the league.
Ezgjan Alioski’s goal five minutes into the second half put the visiting team in the lead, and Pablo Hernandez added a second in the 78th minute.
Former Leeds striker Noel Whelan was following the match for BBC Radio Leeds, and he has given his take on the final result.
Whelan said on BBC Radio Leeds at full time (2:28pm, December 7, 2019): “It wasn’t the best spectacle ever, typical derby at times, very scrappy, both teams guilty of giving the ball away, especially in the first half, but we said at half time that there is more in this Leeds side, they need to up the ante, and go a few more gears. They did that.”
