Did anybody else notice the neat 1 touch football that built up to goal? I know it was only 5 passes but it really is a joy to watch.

Actually yeah. The more you look at that goal the better it gets. I think too much emphasis was put on the "mistake" by the Leeds player, I actually thought Barnes knocked it through.

Superb goal though!

As soon as Buckley received it I thought he was going to do a Doncaster, shape his body and pass it across with his right foot. Great finish as well as the build-up.

It was brilliant play, and Leeds...what were your defenders doing, Buckley was unmarked during that whole build up.

But their penalty, I just don't get it. Diouf was going for an acrobatic goal, so how on Earth did the ref come to the conclusion that Calde bought him down?

I still think Ulloa's 2nd goal (v Palarse) was the best one-touch approach and goal. Just watched it again and purred

i've also just watched the highlights again, Austin's challenge looks more like a red card, barnes muscles him off the ball and he goes and retaliates.

Oh without doubt, this one touch football is becoming more fluent in our style, we're not so defensive anymore, it's the best to watch.

Leeds's 'appeal' got thrown out pretty quickly so the FA must have felt it was more than a coming together as well.
