BBC pundit Garth Crooks has been typically effusive in his praise for three Leeds United players.
The former Stoke City and Tottenham Hotspur striker has included three Leeds players in his team of the week for their performances in the Yorkshire derby victory over Sheffield United.
First up was Illan Meslier in goal, who pulled off a string of fine saves to become the sixth goalkeeper under the age of 21 to keep a top-flight clean sheet for Leeds.
Crooks admitted he was unfamiliar with Meslier before this season, but is becoming increasingly impressed by the 20-year-old.
He said: "I must be honest, I didn't know an awful lot about Illan Meslier, but by the end of the game I knew everything I needed to know.
"The Leeds keeper made two remarkable saves from John Lundstram and another from George Baldock in a first half full of commitment from both sides.
"The more I saw of him the better he got.
"I haven't seen a Leeds keeper with this sort of promise since I first watched a young Mervyn Day 40 years ago."
Also included in the team was Robin Koch, who showed exactly why Leeds jumped at the chance to sign him this summer.
Praising the centre-back's performance, Crooks lamented the fact the game was played behind closed doors.
"Oh how I wish fans had been allowed into this game," he wrote.
"The Yorkshire derby between Sheffield United and Leeds was a brilliant watch.
"This was a game only for the totally committed and Leeds centre-back Robin Koch was at the heart of the battle.
"There's something not quite right about Leeds being back in the Premier League and not hearing their anthem 'Marching on Together' sung loud and proud by their fans.
"They would have shaken Bramall Lane to the ground the way their team performed.
"A cracking game and a pity someone had to lose in the end."
The third Leeds player to make the team was Jack Harrison, who set up Patrick Bamford for the winning goal against the Blades.
Crooks said Harrison's cross for Bamford's goal was top class.
He said: "The cross was magnificent. In fact the ball was so good from Jack Harrison he raised both his hands aloft to signal a goal was imminent.
"Meanwhile agony was etched on Aaron Ramsdale's face in the Sheffield United goal as he knew there was nothing he could do about the quality of the ball.
"All that Patrick Bamford had to do was to keep his eyes on the ball, hold his nerve and nod it into the back of the net. Game over.
"Occasionally the cross is better than the goal itself and this was one of those moments."
