Leeds United already breaking Premier League records to prove how much they've been missed

It's been a remarkable return to the Premier League for Leeds United.

Two games, one win, one defeat, 14 goals. It's safe to say the Whites haven't gone under the radar back in the big time.

Saturday's 4-3 win over Fulham proved that, whilst Leeds will astound and blow away opponents, they'll keep supporters on the edge of their seats throughout the campaign until the very final whistle.

Whilst Marcelo Bielsa will want to see his side tighten up at the back, Leeds' high-octane football philosophy has shone through in the opening matches of the season.

Leeds' eye-catching start has registered amongst the record books too.

The 14 goals they have shared in their opening two matches is the highest number of goals for a top-flight side's opening two matches since Wolves in 1962/63.

Equally, the seven scored by Leeds and Fulham was the most in a Premier League game between two promoted teams since Wolves beat Leicester 4-3 in October 2003.

Whilst United's fast-paced start to life in the top-flight might not do wonders for the nerves of Bielsa and their support base, performances in keeping with their start to Premier League life will earn them plenty of plaudits - and points - throughout the campaign.
