Leeds United drew 1-1 at Brighton on Saturday to claim another important Premier League point and extend their unbeaten start to the season. Jayden Bogle’s first-half effort was cancelled out by Luka Vuskovic but the Whites defended well to leave the Amex Stadium with a decent result.
Five points from three games represents a promising early return for Daniel Farke’s side and there is growing optimism of an exciting season ahead. And that excitement isn’t limited to West Yorkshire either, with pundits and experts across the Premier League tipping Leeds for a strong campaign.
