The first half at Elland Road drifted along without much rhythm for either side as our title defence continued to be played out under a cloud of uncertainty.
Dominik Szoboszlai still managed to produce one moment the BBC called “a Hollywood ball”, reminding us of the technical levels the Hungarian brings even when the wider performance is flat.
As reported by BBC Sport’s live text commentary, “Dominik Szoboszlai sprays a Hollywood ball out left to Cody Gakpo, who cuts in past two tackles and then hooks a shot just wide of the bottom corner.”
It summed up a subdued opening period in which we had more of the ball but struggled to create genuine threat.
