'Stark reality of life back in the top flight'
- Published
Leeds were less than two minutes away from a narrative emerging around an impressive start to their Premier League return.
On course for five points from four games before the heartbreak of a defender heading into his own net in the 94th minute at Fulham. It was made even more cruel by the fact they had been defensively solid.
If Leeds are to stay up this season, and prove the doubters wrong as Daniel Farke has referenced, they need to find star quality in front of goal.
New signing Dominic Calvert Lewin, yet to score, had one good chance. But creatively, Leeds were lacking with some fans left scratching their heads at a starting line-up omitting the likes of Wilfried Gnonto and Daniel James – proven providers of attacking threat.
Just one goal scored in four league games and none from open play.
A stark reality of life back in the top flight.
