Patrick Bamford, Mateusz Klich and Helder Costa scored for Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United against Middlesbrough this afternoon.
Leeds United have maintained their good run of form in the Championship with a comfortable win against Middlesbrough at home this afternoon.
Given Middlesbrough’s struggles this season, Leeds headed into the match at Elland Road as massive favourites.
The West Yorkshire outfit are aiming to finish in the top two of the Championship table this season and clinch automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side took the lead against Boro after just three minutes when Patrick Bamford found the target.
Mateusz Klich doubled the advantage for the home team in first-half injury time, and Helder Costa – signed on loan from Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer transfer window – made it 3-0 midway through the second half.
Klich added a second goal to his tally in the 73rd minute, as Leeds registered a very good victory.
Former Leeds striker Noel Whelan was following the match for BBC Radio Leeds, and he was pleased with the final result.
Whelan said on BBC Radio Leeds at full time (4:54pm, November 30, 2019): “It was all about stamping our authority on the game. We did that very early on by getting the breakthrough with that early goal from Patrick Bamford, and after that it was all about us.”
