The stats that underline Jack Harrison's sensational start to the season for Leeds United

Jack Harrison has been one of Leeds United's most impressive players in the Whites' first two Premier League games. The 25-year-old has claimed two assists so far this season, providing the cross for Rodrigo's first goal against Southampton on Saturday.

That means Harrison has already beaten last season's assists tally. According to FBREF, the winger grabbed just one assist last season, although he did score an impressive eight goals.

A table published on Twitter by TheOther14 - an account that posts stats from the Premier League clubs who aren't in the 'big six' - further emphasises Harrison's fine start to the new campaign.

From all of the players from the 'other' 14 Premier League clubs, nobody has created more chances in the opening two games than Harrison. He has created a total of 11 chances - seven from open play and four from set-piece situations.

Harrison has created five more chances than the next best; Leicester City's James Maddison, Aaron Cresswell of West Ham United and Brentford striker Ivan Toney have all created six chances. Even if you took out all of the chances Harrison has made from set-pieces, he would still be the top creator.

A lack of goals was a serious problem for Leeds last season, but if Harrison continues to create good chances at the rate he currently is, then the Whites should see the back of their opponents' net bulge far more this term.
