Premier League: Diego Llorente grabs 1st win for Leeds as they defeat Watford 1-0

Premier League: Leeds United finally got to celebrate their first Premier League win
of the season as Diego Llorente’s first-half goal earned them a 1-0 win over Watford at Elland Road on Saturday.

Spanish defender Llorente was quickest to react to a loose ball in the box following a Leeds corner in the 18th minute and hooked it past Ben Foster from close range.

Premier League: Watford lacked intensity and failed to test their hosts, although they thought they had an unlikely equaliser when Leeds keeper Illan Meslier fumbled a corner and the ball ended up in the net. But the goal was disallowed for a foul.

Foster was lucky to get away with an error late on when Tyler Roberts had an effort cleared off the line.

Leeds should have won by a wider margin as Mateusz Klich went close and Stuart Dallas fired a good chance wide, while Daniel James had a strong penalty appeal turned down.
