TalkSPORT hosts Adrian Durham and Darren Gough were blown away by Leeds United after they hammered Stoke 5-0 on Thursday.

Leeds returned to the top of the Championship thanks to goals by Mateusz Klich, Helder Costa, Liam Cooper, Pablo Hernandez and Patrick Bamford.

Outspoken radio host Durham was raving about the quality of the goals that Leeds scored and also the quality of their performance, claiming they will be a credit to the Premier League next season if they win promotion – unlike Tottenham.

“It’s finished 5-0 to Leeds,” said Durham on talkSPORT on Thursday [6:54pm].

After hearing the score, Darren Gough simply responded by saying: “Wow.”

Durham added: “Patrick Bamford scored the fifth with a remarkable finish. There were some great goals. Hernandez, Liam Cooper’s finish was brilliant.

“Fantastic performance from Leeds United, who, if they play like that in the Premier League, will be an absolute joy. They will be a benefit and a boom to the Premier League – unlike Bournemouth and Spurs who have been absolutely useless.”

Let’s forget about the comparisons because Tottenham have been woeful this season and are managed by one of the most negative managers in the Premier League.

Marcelo Bielsa’s style of play is going to be like a breath of fresh air for the top-flight if the Whites do win promotion this season.

No one plays like Leeds. Only Liverpool come close to matching the intensity of the Yorkshire club’s tactics.

What is most impressive about Leeds is that Bielsa has done this with players who were not exactly standing out before his arrival in West Yorkshire.

Bielsa makes the ordinary look extraordinary and we cannot wait to see what he can do with this set of players against some of the best clubs in the country.

Leeds versus Liverpool next season promises to be one of the best matches the Premier League has ever seen.
