Leeds United went back to the top of the EFL Championship as they ended West Bromwich Albion’s unbeaten start to the season with a 1-0 win at Elland Road on Tuesday night.
Left-back Ezgjan Alioski scored the only goal of the game in the 38th minute by firing a shot into the bottom corner of West Brom’s goal, via a big deflection off Kyle Bartley.
Slaven Bilic’s side have now fallen behind in eight of their 10 league games now but this was the first time they were not able to fight back and rescue something from the game.
The result sees Leeds top the table with 20 points, one ahead of West Brom and Nottingham Forest directly below them, whilst Swansea City can jump from sixth to first with three points away to Charlton Athletic on Wednesday.
