While Kemar Roofe couldn't help but stress that they had only played two games yet in his post-match comments, Leeds United have started life under Marcelo Bielsa in the best way imaginable.
After a hugely impressive 3-1 defeat of Stoke City on the opening day, Leeds traveled to Pride Park to take on a Derby side that had won their own opening game (and Frank Lampard's) against Reading.
Although some will wonder how long Leeds' intense playing style will hold up across a 46-game season, thus far, it is working a treat.
Dishing out a 4-1 win tonight, Leeds were relentless. Opening the scoring within a matter of minutes, Mateusz Klich's early effort was wonderful.
However, in a development that may have hampered this Leeds side last season, Derby replied in quick fashion; Tom Lawrence with a free-kick that the Leeds 'keeper will not look back on fondly.
Leeds got back in front through Kemar Roofer, scoring a looping header not all that dissimilar to Lawrence's winning goal for Derby last weekend.
And from here Bielsa's men just kept on going. Grabbing the 3rd through Roofe again, he demonstrated a wholly different skills-set to see this one home.

Absolutely brilliant!

Topping it all off then was Ezgjan Alioski. Only a matter of minutes after Roofe's second of the afternoon, it all but ended Derby's chances and made sure of Leeds' 100% record thus far.
