Leeds 'have come a long way in two years'

Before last weekend, Leeds United's last top-flight game against Tottenham Hotspur came in the final fixture of the relegation season two and a half years ago. Sam Allardyce was in the dugout that day and United lined up in a 5-4-1 formation, with a midfield featuring Robin Koch, Weston McKennie and Adam Forshaw. What followed was a performance so devoid of passion, competence and work-rate that it prompted then captain Liam Cooper to tell the players, in not so many words, that if they did not want to be at the club, to leave.

'Breathing room' - can Maresca make the most of it?

A win over the reigning champions is even better. Chelsea's win over Liverpool on Saturday brought their best performance of the season and the most raucous Stamford Bridge atmosphere perhaps since the Blues beat Manchester United 4-3 18 months ago. It could not have come at a better time for the team and their manager Enzo Maresca.
