Dave is a huge Leeds fan and ardent disciple of Bielsa ball. A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Leeds star Hadi Sacko posted a celebratory message on Instagram following his team's hard-fought 2-0 win against Burton in the Championship.

Chris Wood put the Whites 1-0 up in the 83rd minute but fans had to endure a nervy end to the match as Burton searched for an equaliser.

Sacko was taken off in the 95th minute as manager Garry Monk tried to run the clock down, but substitute Souleymane Doukara put fans out of their misery with a second goal in the 96th minute, securing the valuable three points.

Sacko celebrated Leeds' late goal, making reference to the 91st-minute goal Wigan scored to force a draw in their Championship game on October 18.

Leeds had taken the lead against Wigan after Chris Wood converted a Sacko cross, but Garry Monk's side let two points slip when Shaun MacDonald grabbed a stoppage-time equaliser.

They didn't make the same mistake on Saturday and the win takes them up to ninth in the Championship, just a single point outside of the play-off places.
