Leeds United won 2-0 at Plymouth Argyle to keep their hopes of automatic promotion to the Premier League alive.
Wilfried Gnonto and Georginio Rutter scored each side of halftime, giving the Whites their eighth consecutive Championship victory.
Across all competitions, United have won ten and drew one of their eleven matches this year.
According to Opta’s Jonny Cooper on Twitter [17 February], Leeds have never won 10 games this early in a calendar year.
The previous quickest time Leeds United had achieved double figures was on March 9, 1968, 56 years earlier.
Indeed, it is the earliest in a year that a second-tier team has ever won ten games in English Football League history, which spans more than a century.
Archie Gray confirms Leeds United’s auspicious omen
Following Saturday’s (17 February) win at Home Park, Archie Gray and Glen Kamara have won ten consecutive games.
Only 11 previous Leeds players have accomplished this, and none have done it since Andy Hughes in April and September 2009.
Kamara again shined against Plymouth with a passing accuracy of 90.4%, while Gray, a midfielder by trade, led the way with four tackles and three interceptions [WhoScored].
In this type of form, expect the records to keep falling as Leeds seeks an immediate return to the top flight.
