Breathtaking at Aston Villa, Pascal Struijk reaction, storming Luke Ayling and dealing with Jamie Vardy - Dominic Matteo

I hold a genuine belief that Leeds United’s win over Aston Villa is the best performance from a team wearing the club’s colours since relegation from the Premier League.

I was trying to think back and, for all of the games we’ve seen in the last couple of seasons from this great team, they were just breathtaking and on another level.

It reminded me of a match I was involved in with Leeds away at Charlton.

We won 6-1 down at The Valley, but the positivity right throughout the team was incredible and you came away not really being able to knock anyone at all - it was exactly like that.

The change early on was obviously massive with Pascal Struijk going off for Jamie Shackleton and the way that Pascal dealt with that was outstanding I felt.

He was disappointed to be taken off and it was a long and lonely walk for him, it was the right decision for the team though and that’s what Bielsa is all about - the team is the priority and you are just a cog in the machine.

If he believes a change is needed for the benefit of his side then it’ll be made regardless of circumstance or who you are.

There was a lot made about him replacing Kalvin Phillips in the build-up and it will be a learning curve for the young lad. When you get taken off as a player you’re always downbeat but

I think it’s good to see that in players. There were some that I played with over the years who didn’t mind but I’d hate it!

Bielsa has this knack, and it’s probably down to the standing he has as a head coach, that his players just accept his decisions and move on.
