Leeds United's Tyler Roberts celebrates scoring his side's second goal

Leeds United star Tyler Roberts scored a brace to fire the Whites to a 3-0 win over Preston.

The goals were his first for the Whites in a competitive game, after an injury hit spell since signing for Leeds in January.

Roberts proved his goals were worth waiting for, stepping up with both Kemar Roofe and Patrick Bamford out injured.

The Leeds striker sent a message to fans on Instagram, as did midfielder Adam Forshaw who was a late substitute.

Leeds’ team spirit looks like it is playing a key role in their continued strong form, and manager Marcelo Bielsa deserves credit for helping to foster it.

The Whites are three points clear at the top of the Championship after eight games.

There is a long way to go before promotion even becomes close to being a reality, but Leeds could not have asked for a better start.
