The second half was more impressive.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Swans boss Michael Duff said: \u2018It was a disappointing evening in terms of the result but the performance was really good.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Ultimately we conceded poor goals at poor times and that was the killer. We asked the players to show personality and bravery, we played through them a lot and we have been undone by Premier League quality.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The match started in explosive fashion with two goals scored &#8211; and another disallowed &#8211; inside the opening four minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The appreciation for former Leeds manager Terry Venables had barely died down by the time Leeds had the ball in the net after just 40 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Rutter surprised Swansea down the left and his cross was turned home by Dan James at the back stick, only for celebrations to be cut short by a raised flag.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/29\/22\/78395481-12807145-image-a-30_1701298317047.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Georginio Rutter gave Leeds the advantage by finding the back of the net before the break<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/29\/22\/78395493-12807145-image-a-31_1701298372334.jpg\" height=\"434\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Daniel James extended their lead in the 61st minute and closed out the game for Leeds<\/p>\n<p>There was hardly time to blink before Swansea did actually open the scoring. A hopeful Josh Key long ball from the right touchline wasn\u2019t dealt with by Pascal Struijk, whose attempted defensive header inadvertently played Paterson clear beyond Joe Rodon.<\/p>\n<p>Full marks to Paterson for his deft finish, however, a guided lob over Ilian Meslier which briefly silenced Elland Road.<\/p>\n<p>Briefly being the key word because inside two minutes Leeds had hauled themselves level.<\/p>\n<p>Glen Kamara began the move in midfield with a short pass to Crysencio Summerville, who slid a through ball into Piroe to finish low into the far corner.<\/p>\n<p>Piroe netted 46 goals in 96 games during two-and-a-bit seasons with Swansea but that didn\u2019t stop him celebrating against his former employers.<\/p>\n<p>There was such an openness about the contest with both sides encouraged to come forward. Ethan Ampadu invited pressure with a loose pass and Ollie Cooper\u2019s effort was deflected over.<\/p>\n<p>Down the other end, referee Sam Allison waved away vocal Leeds appeals for a penalty when Sam Byram\u2019s cross appeared to strike Key on the arm. Summerville then drew a save from Carl Rushworth.<\/p>\n<p>Swansea\u2019s equality of possession and territory didn\u2019t please the Elland Road faithful, who have become accustomed to seeing Leeds dominate such things.<\/p>\n<p>When Key was allowed space and time to drift infield from the right flank and curl narrowly over, the reaction was moans and groans, plus a few shouts of \u2018get into \u2018em!\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/29\/22\/78395539-12807145-image-a-32_1701298466355.jpg\" height=\"773\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Swans boss Michael Duff said it was a disappointing evening in terms of the result but insisted it was a &#8216;really good&#8217; performance from his side<\/p>\n<p>But Leeds ended the first-half strongly and after half-chances for Summerville and Struijk, they led on the stroke half-time.<\/p>\n<p>For all their intricacy going forward, this was pure route one, with Ethan Ampadu lofting a nonchalant high ball from deep and Rutter brushing off Bashir Humphreys with embarrassing ease to get goalside.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman was afforded three touches to steady himself before finishing past Rushworth and the general mood improved in an instant.<\/p>\n<p>Summerville almost put the game to bed on 53 minutes but fired over when well-placed after Rutter\u2019s pass through inside the Swansea box.<\/p>\n<p>James seized on Jay Fulton\u2019s doziness as Key tried to pass the ball out of defence to him but couldn\u2019t get enough power to trouble Rushworth.<\/p>\n<p>But you felt the third goal was coming and it was. Just after the hour, Leeds burgled the ball back in midfield and Rutter played in James to fire high into the roof of the net.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Bamford twice went close to adding to the lead, narrowly firing wide from Summerville\u2019s cross before drawing a save from Swans keeper Carl Rushworth.<\/p>\n<p>Rodon turned a corner goalwards only to be denied by Humphreys on the line and Jaidon Anthony headed wide late on but Leeds settled for three.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12807145\/Leeds-3-1-Swansea-Daniel-Farkes-maintain-unbeaten-home-run-despite-early-scare-thanks-goals-Joel-Piroe-Georginio-Rutter-Daniel-James.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leeds 3-1 Swansea:\u00a0Daniel Farke&#8217;s side maintain their unbeaten home run despite an early scare&#8230;
