Jack Harrison and a Phil Jagielka own goal took Leeds United to a 2-1 win over Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Pressing high up the pitch, Leeds took the lead in the 12th minute when Harrison scored with a simple tap-in after excellent work by Raphinha to carve open the Sheffield United defence down the right.

The visitors levelled before the break as Ben Osborn popped up at the far post to steer home Oliver McBurnie's deflected shot, and though Luke Ayling cleared the ball, goal-line technology quickly ruled that it had crossed the line.

Leeds killed the game off four minutes into the second half when Harrison's low cross was put into his own net by Phil Jagielka to move them up to 10th in the table on 42 points, while Sheffield United remain bottom on 14 points after 30 games.
"I think it was a good performance, not only from myself but all around ... we didn't really concede a lot but created quite a lot in attack, and that's what we wanted to do," goalscorer Harrison told Amazon Prime.
The result moves Leeds up to 10th in the table on 42 points, while Sheffield United remain bottom on 14 points after 30 games.
