Leeds matches Prem record with victory over Spurs

Leeds United's victory over Tottenham has them matching a Premier League record.

Leeds-Live reports the win was enough to see Leeds move up to ninth in the Premier League table and ensured that no members of the derided 'Big Six' of Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and the two Manchester sides who last month signed up for the ill-fated European Super League project, have beaten Bielsa's side at Elland Road.

This is a remarkable achievement for a newly-promoted side - and something the last 30 teams promoted from the Championship have failed to do.

To find a Premier League newcomer who has matched this record, you have to go back to the 2009/10 season, when Birmingham City managed this feat on their way to a ninth-placed finish.

Leeds' run against the 'Big Six' has seen them earn three clean sheets and concede just three goals against some of the best attacking talents on the planet.
