Leeds United enjoyed an instant return to winning ways after beating Queens Park Rangers 2-0 on Saturday. Goals either side of half-time from Jayden Bogle and substitute Joel Piroe ensured all three points remained at Elland Road, with Daniel Farke’s side utterly dominant and their visitors failing to register a single shot on target.
Leeds were comfortable on the day but never really blew QPR away, with the attacking players not quite clicking. It was left for Bogle to create a large portion of the attacking impetus and the right-back duly accepted, with the YEP’s chief football writer Graham Smyth labelling him a ‘real threat’ in his player ratings.
And Bogle has also been rewarded for his performance with a place in the WhoScored.com Championship Team of the Week. Scroll down to see who else features.
