Record: 4-2-0
Rank: 3rd, 12 points
Last Result: 1-0 win vs. Man. United, September 14
Streak: Won 2 Next Game: at Blackburn Rovers, September 22 UEFA Cup Last Result: 1st Rd, 1st Leg ~ 1-0 win vs. Metalurg Zaporizhzhya, September 19 Next Game: 1st Rd, 2nd Leg at Metalurg Zaporizhzhya, October 3 A sweet victory for Leeds United, which beat archrival Manchester United for the first time in 10 attempts. Not surprisingly, the main focus was on former Leeds captain Rio Ferdinand, who left the Yorkshire club during the summer for a British record fee and was booed whenever he touched the ball on his return. ... Leeds had to work hard for a UEFA Cup victory on Thursday night against Ukrainian side Metalurg Zaporizhzhya. But in the second half, Michael Bridges, who had been out of action since October 2000, came on as a substitute and set up Alan Smith to score the only goal of the game. .. Looking for a third straight league win, Leeds travels to Ewood Park, where the Yorkshire side beat Blackburn Rovers last season, 2-1.
