00:00Just heading out of turf war where Bernie has claimed a crucial 2-0 victory against

00:05Leeds United to move them out of their legation zone. Exactly what the doctor ordered really.

00:11Coming off the back of that international break, a bit of pressure on them. Losing five out of their

00:17first seven games. Albeit their fixture list was pretty gruelling. The big caveat in that.

00:23But there was pressure coming into this game. It's had a new growth side. It did, well certainly not lose the game.

00:29But yeah, we needed to go out there and win the game really, ideally. And they did exactly that with a

00:36very composed, mature performance. Scott Parker changed the system, went to the back four, which

00:42a lot of fans have been calling for early into the season. And yeah, they just went back to sort of

00:48what we witnessed for a lot of last season, certainly towards the back end last season.

00:52They were structured, they could soak up pressure. But they took the chances when they came and yeah,

00:58that's why the big takeaway from today is how crucial, so how clinical they were with their

01:03chances. Two goals of real quality. The first one really, it's all about Kyle Walker's delivery.

01:09Exceptional cross and Leslie Ubershukri puts it away with a neat header. That's two and two now for him,

01:13the big man. Second half, Leeds come out strong. Makes for a bit of an anxious start, second half.

01:19Well, that soon disappeared when Loon Chalna, coming off the bench, sticks one in the top corner from

01:2730 yards, which is exactly what you need when you're holding on to a lead. Get that second goal,

01:31make that a bit more comfortable for yourself. And then Bernie did the rest and sort of had the game.

01:38We'll take it with ease, but pretty comfortably. So yeah, that's out of the navigation zone,

01:42onto seven points, all earned at home and hitting Turf Moor. But yeah, time to change that now on

01:48the way to Wolves, bottom side Wolves next week. Another big game.
