Leeds United won plenty of plaudits, if not points, thanks to their opening day showing against Liverpool.
Marcelo Bielsa's side played their part in a thoroughly entertaining tussle at Anfield.
They came from behind three times against the defending champions but two penalties - book-ending the contest - proved their downfall.
Despite suffering defeat, pundits and the national media were quick to shower praise on Bielsa's men.
And there is one statistic that showed they were not overawed by the opponents or occasion - despite the game being played behind closed doors.
Stats show that the Whites put in 33 tackles against the Reds on Saturday night.
That is the most by ANY away side at Anfield in the Premier League since Jurgen Klopp became manager.
That's no mean feat considering the German first arrived on Merseyside in 2015. He has made Anfield a fortress - Liverpool haven't lost a league game there since April 2017.
Leeds' versatile wing-back Stuart Dallas was top of the tackling charts, putting in seven blocks against the Reds.
Just behind him, with six, was Luke Ayling.
Pascal Struijk and Mateusz Klich both earned plaudits for their performances in the curtain-raiser and they chipped in with four tackles each.
Crucially, Struijk made three interceptions - the most of any Leeds player.
The Whites will be hoping that they can build on what was a thoroughly impressive first day showing when they return to top flight action on Saturday.
