Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa felt their fitness was key for today's 4-0 win at Burnley.

Rodrigo struck twice for the 4-0 rout.

Bielsa said, "They were two different halves. At the start of both it was difficult for us to dominate.

“They had the dominance but in the first half we didn't suffer chances and attacked well. In the second half we were more efficient but we also conceded a few more chances."

On his side being in good physical condition, he added: “You can verify that [we are fit] by looking at the data. I never thought that could be the case. It would have worried me if we had finished the season in physical decline."
