Piroe and the in-form Daniel James<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>DOMINIC KING: I don&#8217;t understand what football is anymore &#8211; It&#8217;s All Coming Up\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A sixth win in seven games and a fifth consecutive home victory provided further evidence that Leeds United are on the march, but they should have won this game far more comfortably.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Farke warned anyone who\u2019d listen that the start to the season could be \u201cbumpy\u201d due to a summer of upheaval at Elland Road which saw a change of ownership and overhaul of the playing squad.<\/p>\n<p>There was also the appointment of Farke himself, but the German is beginning to cast quite a spell over the Whites, with this latest success keeping them in touch with the automatic promotion places.<\/p>\n<p>Farke, let it be remembered, knows this division better than most having guided Norwich to the Premier League as Championship title winners in two of the past five seasons.<\/p>\n<p>After the slow start to their campaign, Leeds are beginning to motor and Farke has at his disposal a forward line dripping with ideas, speed and creativity.<\/p>\n<p><img

for Leeds after scoring another goal<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Dan James opened the scoring in the 21st minute and Joel Piroe added a second seven minutes later to make it 2-0 at the break, an apt reflection of the hosts\u2019 superiority.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds had further chances to make the game safe after the break before Plymouth claimed what turned out to be a late consolation through substitute Ben Waine.<\/p>\n<p>Farke\u2019s side were still bubbling from their 1-0 win at leaders Leicester eight days previously and they soon had Argyle under severe pressure.<\/p>\n<p>In the 12th minute, Georginio Rutter went down in the box under a challenge from Lewis Gibson, but referee Josh Smith was unmoved.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds continued to probe and a dangerous cross from James required a vital intervention from Julio Pleguezuelo with Summerville lurking at the far post.<\/p>\n<p>But the breakthrough came midway through the first half when 18 yards after Kaine Kesler-Hayden&#8217;s poor clearance fell straight to James on the edge of Argyle\u2019s 18-yard box.<\/p>\n<p>The Wales winger took a touch before curling home a superb right-foot shot into the net.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/11\/17\/77685161-12737795-image-a-19_1699722511986.jpg\" height=\"951\"

post in honour of Armistice Day<\/p>\n<p>From there Leeds did not look back and they soon doubled their advantage when Summerville&#8217;s delightful footwork created the space for Piroe to rifle home a low, left-foot shot past Pilgrims goalkeeper Michael Cooper.<\/p>\n<p>Further chances came and were spurned, with Summerville denied a goal by an offside flag.<\/p>\n<p>Rutter then spurned two gilt-edged chances in quick succession after the break, first firing straight into the arms of Cooper before blazing over from Summerville&#8217;s cross moments later.<\/p>\n<p>Willy Gnonto came off the bench and almost made it 3-0 but Gibson produced a superb piece of defensive work to block the Italian\u2019s low strike inside the box.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow substitute Jaidon Anthony then engineered the space to curl a right-foot shot which drew a smart stop from Cooper as Leeds once again failed to add to their tally.<\/p>\n<p>With six minutes remaining, Argyle set up a nervy finish when Waine buried Luke Cundle\u2019s low right-wing cross.<\/p>\n<p>Waine then headed home from a corner moments later before Leeds held on during six minutes of added time.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING
