Leeds produced arguably their best performance of the season in front of a sell-out 36,625 crowd, thumping Coventry City 3-0. The Whites finally did that they had threatened to do all season, and dismantled their visitors in style. The cogs were turning in unison; they were creative going forward, solid at the back and showed a purpose that up to this point had been sadly missing.

Even after Ampadu limped off on 41 mins, Leeds continued to bully the Sky Blues into submission. His replacement, Tanaka, a £2.9m last minute Summer signing from Dusseldorf looked more than assured in the Leeds Utd midfield. It was the first team Leeds had eleven players, all from different nationalities on the pitch at the same time!

By this point the hosts were already one-up thanks to Gnonto's exquisite 16th minute opener. His first time effort flew past Wilson before he could even react, using the pace of Firpo's cross as leverage!

By the time the half-time whistle came, Leeds could have been four up. Fine saves from Gruev, Ramazani and Joseph had kept Mark Robins side in the game; that is until the 49th minute when Bogle got in on he act. His one-two with Ramazani split the visitors defence wide open, and the former Sheffield Utd man took full advantage.

Leeds made it three with ten minutes left on the clock. Tanaka's delightful over the top diagonal ball found Gnonto deep down the right channel. Unselfishly, he squared the ball to Piroe (a 70th minute change for Ramazani) who grabbed his third of the season from close range.
