Leeds’ fine start on their return to the Premier League after a 16-year absence continued as Patrick Bamford scored a dramatic late winner in the Yorkshire derby against Sheffield United 1-0.

After pushing Liverpool all the way in a 4-3 defeat on the opening weekend of the season, Marcelo Bielsa’s men have won their next two with the much-maligned Bamford scoring in all three games so far.

The Blades remain without a point or a goal this season after impressing to finish ninth on their return to the top-flight last season.

West Ham got their first league win of the season in style with a 4-0 win over Wolves despite the absence of Manager David Moyes due to opening day of the season against Leeds took his tally in Premier League games for Liverpool at Anfield to 51 in 57 home games.
