For better and for worse, the Leeds United from Marcelo bielsa it is a team with its own identity. More than recognizable even if you were to watch his game without knowing the players and wearing white shirts and without a shield. But as I said, it is for better and for worse, and much less his good intentions are always reflected in a beneficial marker. For example, they did not do it this Wednesday when he was defeated (1-2) before a Everton from Ancelotti also very ‘made in Carletto’. The 'toffee' team was able to punish a Leeds that could be improved on defense and with goals from Sigurdsson Y Calvert-Lewin took the three points of his visit to Elland road. Marked a posteriori Raphinha for the local box, but late.
Not 10 minutes of play had been completed when the Everton struck the first blow. After one of his innumerable gallops down the left wing, Digne reached the bottom line and from there centered so that Sigurdsson, who came from behind, finished off the penalty spot to the net. The Frenchman's service was half a goal, confirming what many suspect, that of having continued in the Barça currently he would probably be the starter on the left back.
Woke up the Leeds with that goal against, but far from finding the tying prize, before reaching the break at 41 ’, he found himself at a double disadvantage. It was at the exit of a corner thrown by Sigurdsson when defending those of Bielsa allowed Godfrey comb the ball at the near post so that Calvert-Lewin, in the second, head to the network.
With that 0-2 the Everton on track to victory, and despite the fact that Leeds improved in the second half, he didn't do it enough to avoid being beaten. He scored as soon as the second half started Raphinha taking advantage of an indecision of Yerry Mina Y Holgate at the time of clearing the ball from his area, but what aimed to be a fruitful reaction remained at that, in a sterile 1-2 for the Leeds.
The Everton came to this duel after drawing with him Leicester and accept an unexpected and painful defeat in front of the Newcastle, but he knew how to bite the bullet to win again and continue his fight to qualify for European competitions.
