Leeds brush aside RB Leipzig in friendly at Elland Road
- Published
Leeds United continued their pre-season campaign with an impressive 2-0 victory over RB Leipzig at Elland Road on Saturday.
Strikers Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha were both on target in a match played over 120 minutes to give both teams the opportunity to distribute as many minutes as possible to their squads.
Calvert-Lewin converted an inviting Joe Rodon cross after just seven minutes with Nmecha doubling the lead deep into the second period with a sharp near-post finish from a Wilfried Gnonto delivery.
It was a fine result over last season's third-place finishers in the Bundesliga, owned by energy drink company Red Bull who also own a minority ownership stake in Leeds and are front-of-shirt sponsors for both teams.
