Noel Whelan has just said on the radio that Bamford has looked miffed this half. Maybe that's the secret to finally getting the best out of him. It's possible that he got a real bollocking from Bielsa for missing those two chances in the first half. Either that or he read some of the comments made about him on here....I noticed that he didn't really celebrate after some of his goals...

Yeessssssssssss, what a win. As close to a perfect performance as you can get.

Totally dominated the game

Clean sheet away from home against a team that had a 100% record until today

Not a bad player on the pitch

Villa 0 Leeds 3

If that's the result then we should be stuffing dog poo through his letter box before every game.

They are saying on the radio that we need to get him angry every game....maybe that is the key.

Wow, I'm stunned. I only saw the game from 35 minutes onwards but what a masterclass second half.
My only criticism is we should have won by a lot more.
You know what, I'm going to stop worrying and just enjoy the ride this season.

What a performance!
6 or 7 would not have been a flattering score either.
It's good to be Leeds. :)

Believe it or not everyone wants the club to suceed - have you been to Elland Road even, or were you born in the city ? Some of us used to turn out at ER in the 80s with crowds of 10,000 playing the likes of Shrewsbury...

Cheers guys for the streams. Unbelievable Jeffrey. Just when you think it may be another one of them games. Bamford gets a poacher and then its Christmas come early for the lad. Ibrahimovic eat your heart out. What a performance.
