Harrison pays back Bielsa’s faith in style

Ronaldo’s first two goals for Juventus were overshadowed by the dismissal of Douglas Costa (above) in the 2-1 win over Sassuolo. The Brazilian spat at Federico Di Francesco, whom he earlier headbutted in a separate incident, and faces a long ban.

The “Bielsa effect” has been emphatic. Leeds United are top of the league and the only unbeaten team in the division.

It was a close shave, with Jack Harrison’s 89th-minute equaliser giving the Yorkshire club a share of the spoils, setting them up for tomorrow’s match against Preston at Elland Road. The former New York City winger, on loan from Manchester City, has had an unconventional route into the game and this was his first goal in English football.

“It’s a very special moment,” said the 21-year-old. “I’m happy to play anywhere but I’ve been used to playing out wide. It’s just nice to help the team in anyway I can.”

Millwall ended a three-game losing streak but were disappointed not to win, with Tom Elliott heading against a post in time added on.

“The international break helped us get back to the fundamentals of our success, which is our togetherness,” said goalscorer Jed Wallace. “We’re not the best team in the world but we fight for every ball.”

It was a clash of styles, with Neil Harris’s side direct and physical, while Leeds looked to find pockets of space. “As you can see, tactics are very boring,” joked Marcelo Bielsa at the end of a long explanation of his team’s approach. “We think being faithful to our style is something with a lot of value.”
