Leeds United fans on Twitter have been reacting to an incredible defensive stat that has emerged this week.
Indeed, Adam Pope tweeted that Leeds are yet to concede a goal from outside the box in the Championship this season, and after 19 games and 77 shots that’s an astonishing stat.
While this information may be impressive, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody as the Whites have conceded just 11 goals in the league so far this term.
A true test for any Leeds fan: Can you match these iconic images with the right results?
Understandably, a number of fans were buzzing to see this stat as it further highlights just how good the Yorkshire outfit have been at the back this term as they’ve rarely allowed their opponents the space to have a real sight at goal.
Other supporters weren’t best pleased that the BBC journalist has tweeted the stat out as they believe that he’s now jinxed the Whites ahead of this weekend’s game.
It seems that there are plenty of superstitious members of the United fanbase, and if United do concede a long-range screamer against Huddersfield, one man will have to face the brunt of the blame.
Rather than trying to point the finger at the journalist for what may or may not happen, some fans chose to praise the impact of Kiko Casilla between the sticks.
One fan dubbed him ‘the cat’ due to his incredible reflexes, while another pondered whether or not this record would have stood if ‘biscuit wrists’ was still in goal – referring to Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
In other news, Leeds fans have been blasting one rival boss after some remarks he made about the club.
