Leeds came out on top in a seven-goal thriller against Fulham in their first Premier League home game for 16 years.
Leeds’s opening two Premier League games this season have seen 14 goals, the most in a top-flight side’s opening two matches since Wolves in 1962-63.
Tony Blair was the UK prime minister and American TV sitcom Friends had just aired its final episode the last time Leeds featured in a Premier League fixture at home.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “This won’t be a constant all year. It is very difficult to maintain the efficiency [in front of goal] we have had in these first two games.
“The characteristics of our game is to create goal scoring opportunities. In these two games we have created very little but we have scored all our chances.
“We have had two very different games. Against Liverpool we tried to get close to a very big rival and today we tried to not be caught by Fulham. Both were very difficult games.”
Not to bore people, I will only update on every 5th league game.
