Trends that continued

Henderson scores in England

Henderson's goal was his first for the Bees. But it was also his first goal scored in England since late 2021, when he scored for Liverpool away at Everton.

Bees score first

The Bees scored first for the tenth time this season. They've scored first in 6 of their 8 home games. The Bees have picked up points in 7 of the 10 games when they've scored first. They've only picked up points once in the 6 games when the opposition scored first.

What was different

3 super subs start

Vitaly Janelt, Mathias Jensen and Keane Lewis-Potter have been 3 of Keith Andrews's most reliable players to bring off the bench, with the trio combining for 27 substitute appearances. All 3 were rewarded with starts against Leeds. The super-est sub of all, Rico Henry, came off the bench again, replacing Aaron Hickey at left-back on the hour. Henry's pace helped create Henderson's goal.
