Leeds went into the regular season's final day sat third and needing both a victory against Southampton plus a Huddersfield Town win at second-placed Ipswich Town to finish in the division's second automatic promotion place.

Ipswich have ultimately finished six points clear of Leeds who will now face Farke’s former...
NATHAN SALT AT OLD TRAFFORD: Manchester United made life hard for themselves but ultimately walked out with a 4-2 victory at Old Trafford from their clash with Sheffield United.
Celtic remain favourites for the Premiership title after making Hearts wait to confirm third place with a 3-0 win in Glasgow. Japanese forward Kyogo Furuhashi struck twice inside the first 21 minutes to expose sub-standard marking by the visiting defence, and Matt O’Riley converted a late penalty. This was not as meek a surrender by those in maroon as the scoreline may suggest, nonetheless they were beaten comfortably. Celtic moved six points ahead of Rangers at the top of the table as it stands...

Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford is yet to return to team training and remains a doubt for Saturday's game against Southampton. A bruised knee, sustained against Middlesbrough, kept Bamford from action last Friday in the 4-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers but he has continued to struggle ahead of the final Championship outing of the season. Leeds still have an outside chance of making the automatic promotion places but must beat the Saints and hope that relegation-threatened Huddersfield...
Winger Riley Lumb, a two-try hero on his debut in the win at Hull FC five days earlier, suffered a hamstring problem inside the opening minute and Brodie Croft went off after half an hour, having earlier scored his first touchdown for Leeds. Also among the try scorers was Jack Sinfield who was selected at scrum-half for the first time this year, in place of Matt Frawley. It might have been a nervous evening for Leeds if they had gone behind or failed to impose themselves early, but in Rhinos’...
Final European placings are yet to be confirmed in the Scottish Premiership following this goalless draw at Rugby Park. For all Hearts’ domination during the game, they were kept at bay by Kilmarnock and their goal frame. The Edinburgh club still need two points to be mathematically certain of finishing third and securing European league-stage football next season. Fourth-placed Kilmarnock know finishing in that position permits entry into the Europa League’s second qualifying round so they...

Sheffield United have been officially relegated to the Championship after their latest heavy defeat of a season to forget this afternoon. The Blades have long been doomed for the drop but could have staved it off for the time being with victory at Newcastle United, a prospect that looked to have more potential when Anel Ahmedhodzic put them ahead early on. But the hosts replied in the first half through Alexander Isak although the Blades will wonder how they went in at the break after missing a...
