Leeds United's win at Leicester City said nothing about the title race and everything about a team to believe in and a manager to be believed.
In the wake of the current Whites team's finest moment - a 1-0 away victory over the flying Foxes - it would be churlish to hark back to far unhappier times or Daniel Farke's predecessors but his mention of one of them in his post-match press conference was noteworthy. 'This project was so, so difficult,' he said of the challenge he accepted when 49ers Enterprises offered him the Elland Road hotseat.
Pascal Struijk's front-foot aggression, Joe Rodon's physicality and awareness and Ethan Ampadu's clamping down on Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall were matched by the contentment of Farke's forwards to do their bit off the ball. Georginio Rutter, so often of late a thorn in the side of defenders, had few chances to dazzle in the first 45 minutes but mucked in manfully with the press, alongside Joel Piroe, James and Crysencio Summerville.
