Leeds United dominated the game against Birmingham, with goals from Patrick Bamford and Crysencio Summerville securing a 3-0 victory. Byram was substituted due to injury, later confirmed to be a lower body injury, and will be out for at least 7 days. The game also saw impressive performances from Firpo and Rodon. Kalvin Phillips returned to Elland Road to watch the game.
Byram has been placed on IR. He did not finish the game last night in Dallas and now will have to be on the IR for at least 7 days (I'm sure this retroactive to yesterday). #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/NIkauF5NUo

Ampadu so close to a fourth, with Leeds queueing up in City's box. Ruddy gets fingertips to it and pushes the shot over. 3-0 on 90+3. #lufc
Four minutes added. Leeds too strong for Birmingham today. Not really sure what Birmingham are supposed to be. Very powder puff. 3-0. #lufc
Gnonto gives a pass straight to Bacuna who gets forward and tries to find space to shoot, but Leeds get bodies back. Firpo then fouls right on the edge of the box. 79th min. #lufc
Leeds subs: James, Summerville and Bamford off, Piroe, Anthony and Gnonto on. Big cheer for Bamford, after a big performance. Deserved that goal and has worked City hard. 75th min. #lufc
Goal for Leeds, scored by Crysencio Summerville. ⚪️ 3-0 ⚫️ [67]
Rutter delays a pass with Bamford trying to run in behind but the ball across runs to James near the penalty spot - can't get it out from under his feet to shoot and Birmingham recover. 2-0 on 53 mins. #lufc
That took a while to get going but Bamford broke the resistance and some really nice play from Firpo set up James for the second. Rodon been impressive at the back, Bamford's movement is lively and Firpo coming up with an assist. Leeds in control. #lufc
HT: Leeds 2 Birmingham 0. #lufc
Leeds pressing for a second goal, James with a chance to shoot but loses his footing and sends a weak effort at Ruddy. 1-0 on 45 mins. #lufc
First start of the season, first goal of the season. Been quite a hungover first half all round but a hanging cross from James finds Bamford at the back post. Rising header beats Ruddy, who gets fingers to it but can't claw it off his line. 1-0 on 35 mins. #lufc
BAMFORD #lufc
Bacuna with a shot from miles out after Ampadu accidentally sends a Rodon clearance back towards Leeds' box. Effort goes way over the bar. 0-0 on 28 mins. #lufc
Leeds sub: Byram off, Firpo on. 18th min. #lufc
Byram limping off. It'll be Firpo replacing him. #lufc
Byram's gone down injured. Rodon seemed to signal that he's going to have to come off. #lufc
A very open start - Birmingham finding space to come forward on the flanks, Leeds with two counters through James and Summerville. Latter ends in a block shot from Bamford. 0-0 on four mins. #lufc
