Leeds United showcased their attacking prowess as they comfortably defeated Millwall, propelling themselves into the upper half of the Championship table. Joel Piroe, a summer signing, netted twice, while Georginio Rutter added a third goal, demonstrating the cutting edge that Daniel Farke’s side possesses in their quest for a Premier League return.
Leeds United secured their first victory at The Den since March 2012, asserting their dominance in what has become an intense rivalry between the two clubs. Piroe, who joined from Swansea last month for a fee of £10.5 million, sealed the opening goal in the 15th minute after an excellent assist from Georginio.
The Dutch striker found the net again in the 78th minute, capitalizing on a stumble from Dan James and doubling Leeds United’s lead. Shortly after, Georginio ensured the victory by confidently striking the ball into the net following a pinpoint pass from James.
With this win, Leeds United climbed to 10th place in the early season standings, while Millwall currently sits in 18th with seven points from their first six games.
Joel Piroe celebrated his second goal, cementing a comprehensive 3-0 victory for Leeds United against Millwall. Leeds goalkeeper Ilian Meslier misjudged the flight of the ball, allowing Tom Bradshaw to score. Wilfried Gnonto of Leeds showcased his skill during the Sunday lunchtime game at The Den, and Georginio Rutter attempted to create space against Allan Campbell and Billy Mitchell.
In terms of the line-ups, Millwall played a 3-1-4-2 formation with Bialkowski in goal, while Leeds United opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation with Meslier between the posts. The match ended with Leeds United emerging victorious thanks to Piroe’s goals in the 15th and 78th minute, as well as Rutter’s goal in the 81st minute.
Overall, Leeds United put on a dominant display, securing a comfortable win and elevating themselves into the top half of the Championship table under the leadership of Daniel Farke.
