Hull City 3-3 Leeds United: Somewhere, over the bar
Illan Meslier could have just left it all alone and let things take a quieter course. Goalkeeper? More like, let in a goal to keeper things interesting... er.

Farke finally realised that Eustace was pushing Leeds into a Rodon-dominated hell and that the answer to how the hell he was going to score against John anyhow was by going to hell himself and getting Rodon out.
Sometimes Leeds can get trapped by their own smoothness. Ethan Ampadu's performance was the rough edge that let Derby think they were in a game — the wrong game.
The silhouetted Leeds players celebrating were more substantial than the shadows of their Elland Road editions who have been darkening trips away.
This is the thing about 'needing' an exciting playmaker — it may not be necessary. Leeds should be getting promoted anyway with our frantic curly haired one who just wants to be liked.
If away form was that easy, Leeds United would have been the first Premier League champions as well as the last First Division champs.
Sometimes we just have to accept people for who they are when they're doing what they always do.
Let's have a party and invite everyone. Even if they play for Middlesbrough now.
Sam Byram went whomping through Riley McGree, Dan James hit the top corner, and Boro were done at that point. Yes, I know it's Leeds, but sometimes you can just tell.
Joe Rodon headed the opening goal from a corner like a harbinger of doom. It's always been a case of careful what we wish for from set-pieces. The games can be uneventful enough without Leeds settling things that way. If goals are only coming two-by-two at least let one of them be a thunderbastard.
