Her er en del interessante poenger som ikke nødvendigvis kom med i tv-produksjonen:
Jansson's pre-goal chat with coaches, Ayling's embrace with Mainwaring - moments you might've missedLeeds United were 1-0 winners over Norwich City in the Championship yesterday - but how many of these moments did you spot?ByTom Marshall-Bailey 13:00, 17 DEC 2017
Pontus Jansson's pre-goal conversation with the coaching staff
Before he planted a glancing header into the back of the Norwich City net yesterday, Jansson took an opportunity to get a head start on the opposition.
While James Maddison laid injured on the floor and received treatment, the players took a quick drinks break, but Jansson's focus was on talking to the coaching staff about Leeds' set pieces.
Pawel Cibicki had already supplied some testing deliveries into the Norwich area but none to any great avail until Jansson's intervention and it came just moments after he had gone and spoken to someone on the bench.
It wasn't entirely clear whether or not it was Gianni Vio or another of Thomas Christiansen's backroom staff, but the defender was given instructions based on previous set pieces, with Norwich surprising in their switch from zonal to man-to-man marking to counter Jansson's threat.
His brief conversation with the bench while others took in fluids lasted all of a minute, but it preceded the all-important goal just before half-time, with Jansson running back to celebrate with his colleagues, as well as his family, after heading home.
Luke Ayling and James Mainwaring reunite
The name James Mainwaring wasn't one Leeds fans would have been overly familiar with until he made himself notorious in the 2-1 win over Middlesbrough recently.
Mainwaring was the linesman who advised referee Keith Stroud to award Boro a penalty against Luke Ayling for dragging down Daniel Ayala despite failing to spot Ayala's own raised arm against Gaetano Berardi and subsequent foul on Ayling.
Leeds players were incensed at the possibility of their two-goal lead being halved and so too were the fans as flags provided by the club were hurled in the general direction of the linesman, prompting an FA investigation.
They conveniently missed Ayala's stray elbow on Berardi and so, too, did Mainwaring, making him public enemy number one and raising eyebrows amongst fans when he was named among the officials for this weekend's game.
But any suggestion of any hard feelings on Ayling's part were put to bed pre-match as he shared a hug and a joke with the linesman as the players emerged from the tunnel as all was forgotten.
Pablo Hernandez's welcome back
After suffering a muscle injury against Aston Villa which led to a premature withdrawal, Leeds surrendered their lead and lacked the poise and control the Spaniard offers them with the ball but he was not missed against QPR or Norwich.
It was a surprise he did not come straight back into the XI at the expense of the injured Caleb Ekuban, with Cibicki handed his opportunity to shine, but Leeds fans let Hernandez know their appreciation of his talents midway through the first half.
Christiansen sent three subs at a time to warm up; firstly, the defensive options of Matthew Pennington, Conor Shaughnessy and Vurnon Anita, before midfield and attacking trio Eunan O'Kane, Jay-Roy Grot and Hernandez.
The loudest cheer of all was saved for Hernandez, who responded by applauding the Leeds faithful in the John Charles Stand.
Grot was later subjected to jeers when he came on but the fans on the same side as the touchline did not give any verbal abuse towards the Dutchman.
Ezgjan Alioski's defensive work draws praise
Christiansen has spoken frequently at recent press conferences about how his side have adopted a defensive 'attitude' in recent weeks and cited that as one of the reasons behind the upturn in fortunes.
Gianni Alioski's superb work to track back and deny Alex Pritchard in the opening stages was a prime example of that.
Alioski's best form has come from playing on the right flank since the international break and he could have felt entitled to be frustrated with the decision to play him on the left to accommodate Cibicki starting on the right.
But he showed otherwise by sprinting back to win possession off Pritchard before forcing a free-kick and it drew one of the biggest applauses all day from the fans, who appreciated his application.
The manager also showed his delight at the work ethic displayed by one of his widemen - and that desire to work for one another is running through this team right now.
Christiansen's wild touchline gesticulations
There was a point in the first half where Samu Saiz lost possession - and his manager was quick to let everyone know what he thought about it.
Christiansen drew paralells to his former teammate with the animated nature of his arm movements afterwards as he vented his frustration at what was, to that point, a rather dour affair in the first half.
Neither side had really clicked into gear and Leeds were being frustrated with Norwich's gameplan to contain and exploit gaps on the counter.
Pawel Cibicki is proving everyone wrong and other Leeds United vs Norwich City talking points
In the same brief interval that saw Jansson engaged in discussion with the coaches, Christiansen and Saiz were involved in their own conversation as the Leeds boss looked to get his side higher up the pitch and more in control of the game.
He has remained calm throughout the recent improved run of form as he looks to guide his team into the top six, but this confirmed his passion and determination to get more from his players when the situation dictates.
