Leeds United's Diego Llorente celebrates scoring their side's first goal of the game during the Premier League match at Elland Road, Leeds. Picture date: Saturday October 2, 2021.
Leeds picked up their first victory in the Premier League this season as defender Diego Llorente returned from injury to score the winner over Watford.
Llorente, who picked up a hamstring injury in the defeat by Liverpool, instinctively poked it in from close range after a corner delivery bounced off Watford's Juraj Kucka at the back post.
It capped off a dominant first-half display from Leeds but failure to take their chances made for a nervy ending.
Watford, who were sloppy in possession and passive for large parts of the game, had a goal ruled out in the second half for a foul in the build-up after
goalkeeper Illan Meslier's fumble almost proved costly.
But despite the narrow scoreline, Leeds were comfortably the better side, leaving Elland Road with three points for the first time this season.
