A clinical Leeds United moved top of the Championship with a 3-0 mauling at Reading last night.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side effectively won the game in the first half with goals from Mateusz Klich and a brilliant brace from Pablo Hernandez.

Leeds only had four attempts on goal and scored from three of them, quite the contrast to Saturday’s 1-0 win at Bristol City which spawned 16 shots from the visitors [BBC Sport].

And former Whites defender Tony Dorigo admits that it was ‘very unusual’ to see his old side so ruthless in front of goal.

He told LUTV: “We had four attempts and we scored three of them. That’s very unusual for us because normally we need a lot of attempts but now we’re seeing quality as well.”

Leeds now turn their attentions to Saturday’s massive clash with Sheffield United at Elland Road.

Victory would see Bielsa’s troops open up a five-point cushion between them and third-placed United.

It would be a huge step toward automatic Premier League promotion and if the hosts are as ruthless as they were against Reading, it should be a win.
