Here are our five talking points from Leeds United's 3-0 win over Millwall at The Den in the Championship as Joel Piroe and Georginio Rutter score the crucial goals
History will tell people Leeds United visited Millwall in September 2023 and battered them in a 3-0 win. The scoreline does not tell the whole story, but, ultimately, who’s going to care?

As Daniel Farke articulated himself post-match, it’s so important Piroe has started as quickly as he has in white.
By the week, you can see how he improves in this lone role. There was hold-up play, strength, fight, hard running in the channels and decent pressing from Rutter on Sunday. If they do not want to be in the EFL for the next 16 years, this small, immediate window of opportunity has to be exploited. With a better squad comes higher pressure and Farke will know this roster has to win virtually two in every three games or average two points per match.
Pascal Struijk continued the upward trend he has been on of late, but it was Joe Rodon who really stood out for the first time. The Wales international has been decent enough through the start of his Whites career, but there hadn’t been anything approaching the level Leeds fans might remember of Ben White in 2019/20.
The Tottenham Hotspur loanee was happy to lead and be a voice on the field, moving team-mates around him. It was a very positive afternoon and another step forward just as Liam Cooper comes onto the horizon as a possible returner in the near future.
