Leeds United started in their familiar 4-1-4-1 formation with Rodrigo Moreno as the forward in Patrick Bamford’s absence, while 18-year-old Charlie Cresswell made his league debut at the back alongside club captain Liam Cooper.

They played with somewhat high defence with the fullbacks pushing forward and most of the attacking players in the opposition half.

West Ham United started with their 4-2-3-1 formation with Michail Antonio back upfront after serving a one-match suspension.

West Ham played with a very high defence line almost pushed near the centre and their attacking players mostly in the opposition half through the middle.

Leeds had 16 shots in total with an xG of 1.61 scoring once from their six shots on target. The hammers managed a total of 18 shots with an xG of 1.86 but scored twice from six shots on target as well.

Leeds had slightly more possession while West Ham had a ppda of 25 which showed they were happy to drop off and let Leeds have the ball.

Michail Antonio had the most shots during the match (7) with the highest xG of 1.10. Young Charlie Cresswell had a fine debut and played the most number of passes into the final third (13)

Leeds had the maximum number of shots from distance and even Raphinha’s goal came from just outside the box, while the chances they had inside were either off-target or saved by the keeper.

West Ham also took a lot of shots from distance but had relatively more shots inside the box compared to their opposition. Both their goals came from inside the box.

West Ham started the game strongly on the front foot but Leeds took the lead soon after in the first half. The home side were not able to put together any more threat while the visitors completely dominated the second half and got the victory from Antonio’s late winner.

Leeds had 56% of ball possession with Charlie Cresswell attempting the most passes(69) and also receiving the most(47).

Hammers had 44% of the ball while Aaron Cresswell played the most passes (52). Angel Ogbonna received the ball 32 times, the most.

The home side played most passes in the left side of the defensive third attempting a few smart passes, two of them being successful. Leeds played the most crosses from the right flank with Stuart Dallas and Mateusz Klich both delivering two crosses each.

The visitors had most of their passes played near the left side of midfield near the centre. They played three successful smart passes out of five. They used both flanks to deliver crosses with Benrahma providing the most with four.

Leeds had the highest xT zones on the right-wing. Jamie Shackleton was the best passer with 97.96% accuracy.

Stuart Dallas was the most threatening passer with an xT of 0.32 while Jack Harrison lead the chart for dribbles (0.087)

West Ham had the highest xT creation zones on the right flank and inside the box. Kurt Zouma was the most clinical passer with 94.59% accuracy.

Said Benrahma had the xT from passes(0.40) which was lowered due to a lot of misplaced passes. Michail Antonio had the most xT from dribbles(0.326)

Leeds were poor in terms of defensive duels. They lost the majority of them with Junior Firpo losing out nine times.

They were way better in the air winning a lot of duels. Liam Cooper was brilliant winning 11 duels.

Leeds won 50% of the 50-50 balls with Firpo winning all five of his duels. Charlie Cresswell was impressive as he did not lose any.

West Ham lost most of their defensive duels. Nikola Vlasic lost all of his duels while almost every single player was unimpressive.

The Hammers lost a lot of aerial duels in the midfield and the final third with Tomas Soucek losing out on six occasions while Antonio lost five.

West Ham defenders won all 50-50 balls while Soucek and Bowen were really poor.

Leeds United were really unlucky to concede a late goal after having a really solid game throughout the 90 minutes. Marcelo Bielsa’s men are yet to win a single match this season and have a lot of areas to improve. On the other hand, David Moyes would be extremely happy after an away win. They put forward a really strong second-half performance, came back from behind to win the match and that would add a certain level of confidence in the team.
