Leeds United took an early lead against Ipswich Town with a goal in the ninth minute and continued to dominate, with a second goal scored at the 28-minute mark. The initial goal came from a corner by Summerville, which was initially saved by Ipswich's goalkeeper Hladky, but Struijk was on hand to head in the rebound. Leeds' aggressive pressing kept Ipswich's defense under continuous pressure. Despite Ipswich's efforts, which included a shot by Broadhead just wide of the goal and a strike by Chaplin that hit the post, Leeds maintained control and led 4-0 by the 56th minute. The team's performance was met with a standing ovation at half-time. In the second half, Leeds continued their dominance, with Rutter hitting the crossbar at the 71st minute, and the match concluding at 4-0. The match also saw a yellow card issued to Broadhead for a foul on Gray. Meanwhile, West Ham United secured a 2-0 victory over Manchester United, with Paqueta assisting both Bowen and Kudus for their goals, showcasing West Ham's strong offensive capabilities.

FT: #WHUFC 2-0 #MUFC. Paqueta man of the match (again), Bowen top English goalscorer in the league and Kudus one of the best signings in the summer transfer window. Other clubs will envy West Ham's front three and rightly so. Recruitment team deserve a lot of credit.
Ampadu and Gnonto launching into challenges still. Leeds have had their teeth into this game from the start. Made sure it was theirs. #lufc
GOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLL! Kudus scores to make it 2-0. Paqueta with the assist. #WHUFC
Oh my goodness what a pass from Paqueta but that finish from Bowen was pure class 👏
#whufc 1-0 #mufc Bowen forces the ball in at the second attempt after a lovely floated pass from Paqueta. Absolutely no pressure on Paqueta though.
CROSSBAR: Rutter with a hit from the edge of the box, beautifully clean strike. Clips the top of the bar. 4-0 on 71 mins. #lufc
Yellow card: Broadhead with a lunging foul on Gray. An annoyed one, that. 66th min. #lufc
It's already heavy but Ipswich are at risk of an absolute battering now. Almost falls to Summerville to bang in a fifth, but not quite. Corner coming up. 4-0 on 56 mins. #lufc
You wondered who'd turn up for this, and Leeds really have. Standing ovation as the whistle goes for the break. Ipswich made to look a distant second best in that half. #lufc
POST: Chaplin with a great strike on the half-volley, difficult one but catches it beautifully. Off the outside of Meslier's left-hand post. 2-0 on 28 mins. #lufc
CHANCE: Broadhead with Ipswich's first sight on goal, shot from the edge of the box just wide. 1-0 on 23 mins. #lufc
Leeds' pressing been good so far, keeping Ipswich very honest at the back. #lufc
So, first blood Leeds. Ipswich have definitely come to play but Farke will want the screw to turn now. Early initiative. #lufc
Perfect start. Summerville corner in, Piroe unmarked header clawed off the line by Hladky but Struijk is loitering at close range and nods the rebound in. 1-0 on nine mins. #lufc
