Leed-ing the way

Leeds United recorded a fifth straight Championship win on Saturday against Bolton Wanderers - and they certainly carry a goal threat this season.

On this occasion, fit-again Patrick Bamford scored the team's matchwinner, which also marked his first league goal for United since his move in the summer. The Bolton victory was the 16th consecutive match in which Marcelo Bielsa's side had hit the back of the net, and in fact, this season they have only failed to score on one occasion: in a 0-0 draw with Middlesbrough in August.

In total, Leeds have hit the target in 21 of their 22 Championship games this season: only Aston Villa matching them, in terms of games in which they have scored, this season.

📈 Scored in most league games (top 4 tiers; 2018/19):
💥 21 Games: 🎯LEEDS*🎯, Villa
💥 20 Games: Portsmouth, Sunderland, MK Dons
💥 19 Games: West Brom, Norwich, Blackburn, Charlton, Peterborough, Luton, Newport, Tranmere
* only failed to score v Boro in August#LUFC @LUFC pic.twitter.com/zlWR5vgtQq
