Leeds United 2 Sheffield United 1 FT – 1-1 HT
Harrison (12’minutes), Jagielka (49’minutes og) – Osborn (45’+2minutes)
Assists – Raphinha (12’minutes)
Leeds United scored early in each half to beat Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United and move into the top half of the Premier League.
Leeds were firmly on top at a sunny Elland Road and took an early lead as Raphinha squared for Jack Harrison to tap in his seventh goal of the season.
The hosts were made to rue their missed chances in first-half stoppage time as Ben Osborn forced the ball over the line after Oli McBurnie’s shot deflected into his path.
But Leeds were back in front inside four minutes of the second half, Phil Jagielka turning Harrison’s low cross into his own net with Raphinha lurking.
Leeds have completed the league double over Sheffield United for the first time since 1991-92, when they won the top-flight title.
Leeds registered at least 20 shots in a Premier League game for the fifth time this season (23 in total), with only Manchester City doing so more often this term (6).
Raphinha’s assist for Jack Harrison’s opener was his sixth in the Premier League this season – no Leeds player has more in the competition this term.
League position 10th after 30 games
