Leeds began the Championship season in good form on Sunday as they beat Bolton 3-2 at the Macron Stadium in a thriller.

Thomas Christiansen began his reign as manager with three league points and there was much encouragement for the travelling supporters.

The Whites hero was midfielder Kalvin Phillips who netted a brace, while striker Chris Wood opened his account for the season with a header goal.

They were made to work hard by recently promoted Bolton and suffered a defensive crisis ahead of their mid-week game against Port Vale in the league cup.

Gaetano Berardi and Matthew Pennington were both forced off injured, but Leeds have confirmed the loan signing of left-back Cameron Borthwick-Jackson on Monday.

This Is Futbol has picked out three things learned from Leeds’ opening day victory over Bolton.

Here are those three points, including why the club’s 25-year-old silenced his doubters with a commanding performance.
