Leeds United maintained their good run of form this afternoon, as they got the better of Rotherham United 2-0 at home.

Whelan told BBC Radio Leeds at full time (16:55, Saturday, August 18, 2018): “The crowd’s happy. They have been fantastic as always. Leeds United are happy.
“They keep the winning run going, and they are just showing all the appreciation of the 33,000+ who are here today to win this, another great display and another three points.”
Over the course of the 90 minutes at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, hosts Leeds had 74% of the possession, took 16 shots of which eight were on target, and earned six corners, according to BBC Sport.
