Jack Harrison says Leeds United's 3-0 win over Chelsea was down to the tactical plan devised by Jesse Marsch.
The Whites put in an energetic, front foot, high-pressing performance which saw them comfortably beat Chelsea at Elland Road. Leeds managed to limit the Blues to very few chances on their goal, while they were clinical at the other end.
Harrison was one of Leeds' star performers, assisting Rodrigo's headed goal before the roles were reversed in the second-half, with the 25-year-old prodding home from close range. Brenden Aaronson gave the Whites the lead after punishing a terrible error from Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

Leeds desperately struggled against the so-called 'big six' last season, losing all 12 of their games against the Premier League's elite. However, they outplayed Chelsea to record their first win over the Blues since 2002.
"We conducted a good tactical plan from Jesse," Harrison told Sky Sports.
"Right from the start, we knew how important it was to come out strong and ruthless. Everyone was on the same page and we managed to do that in the first half. It was a credit to the tactics and the production from the team.
"We set the tone today and we have to try and aim for that performance every week now. It’s hard and difficult, but we have something to aim for and hopefully we can go further, that’s motivation for us."
