This was another of those Marcelo Bielsa masterclasses for the purists, a perfect demonstration of a team entirely committed to a philosophy. Leeds United’s strategy in the Premier League is the ultimate risk versus reward, and this victory was Bielsa’s vision in high definition, as Leicester’s unbeaten start to the year ended. Bielsa has transformed players such as Patrick Bamford, who was outstanding here, and when they perform like this it seems a trick of the mind that they were operating in the Championship last season.

From baking biscuits, to grilling oozy cheese on toast, roasting veg and everything in-between, where would we be without the humble baking tray? It’s probably one of the most versatile - and invaluable - pieces of cooking equipment in a kitchen, so it pays to get one that looks good and will last, whatever you throw at it.
